A Dream Come True

Pope John Paul II 'Pope-ener'

Pope Benedict XVI Bobble Head.

When Joe and I were in Italy 4 years ago, he was on the hunt for a 'bobble head' religious figure.

When we were in Assissi (home of St. Francis and thousands of Catholic-themed souvenir shops) we found Christ-on-the-Cross snow globes, but no bobble heads. Sadly we didn't buy any snow globes. A regret of ours to this very day.

When we were in Rome in 2006, we found 'pope-eners'.

Instead of 'soap-on-a-rope' we saw 'pope-on-a-rope'. Again, another regret of ours. Why didn't we buy it then?????? We've looked for that soap on this trip and there are none to be found.

But Joe's dream came true this week. Outside of St. Peter's Square, he found a Pope Benedict XVI bobble head.
