She was Irish (I think) and we just happened to get chatting... she was volunteering at the hospital where JPII stayed, which is how she got to hear the rumour.Mulier Fortishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01186202810919174492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28018475.post-70302302574599075502008-04-30T21:45:00.000+01:002008-04-30T21:45:00.000+01:00that little rumor sounds like the thing hotel oper...that little rumor sounds like the thing hotel operators mention so as to encourage other people to book there.... yawn!
