Ooooh! Delphi! :D Maybe you will get lucky and not get rained on while you are there.

Bungee jumping at the Corinth Canal? I believe its only about 50 euros. :D

As for the bit about the popes... Awkward.

Pope Steven? Well he sure got shafted out of the good names. Maybe it was because he was such a jerk-face?

[mercury_phoenix]

ONLY 50 euros. Bunny, I am not rich, and kaitlyn is even more not rich. =P

Popes in general are awkward, but I think these ones have the rest beat.

If I were pope, I would call myself Pope John Paul Jones. (:

Lost has given me a permanent bemused "WTF?" face, and a little squeal of GLEE every time the supernatural elements of the show get to come back to main stage. Go smoke monster! And now they're off to commune with the island again, whoohoo!

HAVE A GREAT TRIP!! I will be seeing you, well pretty much as soon as you get back!

Uhrg, Popes are so scary... hehe the weirdest thing was seeing pope snow-globes discounted in the vatican gift shop re-labelled as "memorial" snow-globes.

Or the post cards with the "before" and "after" popes. Nice looking pope. Scary-demon looking pope. :D All great fun in the gift store.

You should have seen my WTF face when they nearly blew up Claire. O.O And what's with Sawyer's sudden protectionist stance? Since when does he risk getting shot at and run into exploded buildings to save other people? I bet there are sawyer/claire shippers gloating now.

pope snow globes? wft.

AHHHH, YOU ARE LUCKY! This trip sounds amazing - I don't have to tell you to enjoy yourself, heh.

I have this great book by Michael Farquhar called A Treasury of Royal Scandals and there's an entire disturbing section dedicated to popes. I highly recommend it (and any of his other books.) It's totally indispensable.

Pope Roger Waters the only!

He's kind of like Tigger, in a way. Except without the bouncing. ;)

ALSO, I will totally put that book on my to-read list. I discovered the other day that I have $150 in book store gift cards, so for once I can actually afford something recommended to me!
