Hobble on the Cobbles
Today is Day 4 of our Rome pilgrimage, and already my daughter needs crutches. Seriously. Her foot started hurting on Friday and by now all our home remedies have proven ineffective. Anybody know where I can find a pair of crutches in Rome?

Yesterday was an epic day. We heard Pope Francis make his first Sunday Angelus address. One thing the press reports have not really made clear: the guy is funny. Really, he has a good sense of humor. Can't wait to hear more from him tomorrow at his installation. Which I hope to watch from a safe distance as the crowds in St Peters Square are way too vast for me.
(Note to Vatican wordmeisters: maybe you should come up with a better term than "installation." Makes it sound like the man is a refrigerator.)
Today we are supposed to be going to St Paul Outside the Walls and St Mary Major. If we can find a pair of crutches.
