My First Pilgrimage

I really hate traveling, but it’s part of my new job. I’m heading to Bari, Italy for the 24th National Eucharistic Conference. Try saying that ten times quickly.

My trip beings on May 29th, so I’m getting a luxury suite at a nearby hotel. But because of my celebrity status, I’m using a fake name. I know it’s breaking a commandment to lie, but what’s a Pope to do? I don’t want any trouble.

I’ve also requested the hotel give me a full bar of soap in my bathroom. I’m tired of those little credit card sized soaps that they always give me. The little things always dissolve before I can even wash my legs. But now that I’m Pope, I can request a full bar of soap and actually get it. Believe that.

Now it’s time to lather up with some of the Cool Water Cologne that Snoop sent me. I have to go out tonight.

Your holiness,

Beware!

There is lots of bad Karma in Bari. Legend has it that
Celestino V came from Bari. And you know what happened to him. He resigned after 5 months because every form of corruption had infested the Church. He became the prisoner of Boniface VIII and was later assinated.

Beware the Ides of Bari!

Thanks for the warning.

I've never used the laundry bag for my hat, but it's not a bad idea.

Yeah, I originally asked for Irish Spring soap to show that I'm diverse, but I settled on som Origin's minty soap.

It's the bomb. Makes me feel so fresh and so clean--clean.

What's up Pope!
About booking hotels under a diff name, how about adopting some names from the many folks that post messages here. Pick one for every hotel you book into if all fails just say you're Bond, James Bond & they'll believe that:)!
