Sounds romantic! I don't think they'll be many conjugal visits though, but hey, you never know. It's the temporary residence that Pope Benedict XVI--now "emeritus" of course will use until a more permanent arrangement at the Vatican is remodeled.

Yes we are officially "pope-less" in the world. The pope took off yesterday, not much fanfare, no big ceremony, no major pronouncements. Just a few goodbyes to select Cardinals in attendance who got the high honor.

The helicopter ride from the Vatican to his temporary castle-by-the-sea was impressive to watch, especially when the chopper flew over the Roman Colosseum. Wow!

So, what's next? I hope it's not Dancing with the Stars".

Good weekend!
