Road Trip to Nowhere

As I am sure everyone in the US knows, Pope Francis is coming to Philadelphia. I am not excited.  The last time a pope visited Philadelphia was in 1979 - it was John Paul II and I was in high School.  Mom & Dad took a bunch of the kids & our friends down for the mass.  My mom got pulled into a screaming match with weird rest room attendant at the Reading Terminal train station (it is no longer a train station) and everything was so crowded that we couldn't hear anything or see anything.  We kids (of which I was the eldest at the time) ended up playing cards all through mass - a fact that I am not embarrassed to admit because - IT WAS BORING.  

That said - I am sure any mass lead by Pope Francis will be more interesting but since darn near everyone is streaming into the city to visit the Pope, we are going west. I have no desire to be trapped in my home or neighborhood by the traffic jams created by security teams that never studied the traffic patterns of the Philadelphia area.  It is my honest assessment that the main  arteries in eastern Montgomery, Delaware and southern Bucks counties are going to become parking lots.  Gah!

Welcome to our crazy city Pope Francis!  I hope you have an enjoyable time and that someone gets you a good soft pretzel and a cheese steak while you are here!
