AmP Videos: Pope Benedict visits the National Shrine

First, a video to give you a feel for what it was like "on the ground" waiting for the pope to arrive. I'm standing at the street entrance to the National Basilica looking down Fourth Street where the Popemobile arrived later.



Now here's the moment we'd all been waiting for - the appearance of Pope Benedict XVI in his popemobile. This captures the crowd response well, and of course - Il Papa!



This second video shows him greeting the crowds - listen for the "Happy Birthday" song! Towards the end I focus on some of the Bishops and Cardinals who were in his train.



Darn tree.... if you only knew how hard I had to finagle to get that "prime viewing spot."
