Wrong way, Monsieur Ratsinger

I stood about 2.5 metres from the Pope on Friday evening. He waved through his car window as he (and his entourage of over 50 vehicles) went the wrong way down East 87th St from Park Avenue, right out the front of our building.

As exciting as the whole event was, the cherry on top was definitely the lone police scooter that ended a convoy of 30 - 40 highway patrol motorcycles, big SUV's, buses of media, limousines, police cars and black vans going the wrong way down East 87th.

Only the Pope. Only in New York. I love this place.
