CNN

We went to CNN today in Italy. I thought it was interesting, but it was a lot smaller than I thought it was going to be. It was just a Bureau, not an office like the headquarters in Atlanta. I have a picture beside the CNN logo, though, so that is all that matters. Besides, how many people can say they’ve been to CNN, let alone the CNN in Rome?
On another note, since we have been here people have been telling us how everyone likes Americans so much better now that Obama is our president. I think this is really funny. One person can change an entire country’s view about us. I think that they should know that George W. Bush does not represent all of America, but I guess that doesn’t matter now because they like us now. Thank you Obama.
Tomorrow we are going to the Vatican. We are going very early, but we will be there for a few hours, and we will probably beat the crowd. I am excited about seeing the Sistine Chapel and the Pope. Apparently he will come out and talk to the audience. I think tomorrow will be a great day, even if I have to get up at the crack of dawn.

Hi Jessica,
Reading your blog about Rome reminds me of my trip there. We also saw the Vatican and the Pope at his Wednesday audience! I loved the Forum – to imagine what it was like and how long these ruins have been there. We also were in Florence and it is beautiful there. Eat lots of gelato!

One other thing! We too were told in Austria that people would be glad when George Bush was no longer president. I was amazed at how much knowledge Europeans had of American politics. I’m sure I couldn’t say anything about politics in any European country.
