Though not as many people as it was back then for those who would remember it was also the biggest festivity that was held in the span of five days.
For this year Pope Francis goes back to Rome on a high note inspiring people and giving them something to hope for. The images below where taken yesterday in the corner of Gil Puyat and Roxas Boulevard as the Pope Mobile pass by for the last time…
When he arrived last Thursday he was on the Pope mobile and when he left he was on the same vehicle and in-between those days he was on the 7-seater
Volkswagen Touran that was the most visible service Pope Francis has ridden to the places he has been. It’s great for those who finally witness him drive off to the airport and let’s hope he returns.
