My friend Jason booked a trip to Rome a while ago. He left eight days ago and was so happy to be in Rome for Easter Sunday. He was on the last tour of the Vatican before J.D. Vance, Vice President of the USA arrived. All the people on later tours were cancelled so J.D. Vance could get a visit! 😒
I'm sure you've heard the Pope sadly passed away that evening.
Jason is staying in this hotel:
His hotel is circled in yellow. The Basilica where the pope's burial will be is one block away from his hotel. 300,000 to 400,000 people are expected to view the procession. It's been quite a trip for Jason and it's just begun!
Did not expect this before arriving in Italy… literally felt like a private exclusive tour of the Roman Forum and Palatine Hill!
