The deserted landscape of a few months ago has been gradually changing. Tourists have been returning to Rome and the Vatican, even if they can't be physically present at the pope's events.<\/p>\n
ALEJANDRA GARC\u00cdA<\/strong> Alejandra traveled to the Vatican from Spain with her five-month-old baby, to express gratitude for her birth and good health.<\/p>\n ALEJANDRA GARC\u00cdA<\/strong> In the middle of the new normal, there are those who don't fail to be impressed by the sight of the Vatican with less tourists than usual.<\/p>\n CARMELA MONSALVE<\/strong> Carmela is a nurse. Serving others is her passion. She, like many other health workers, carries with her the scars from being in the front lines against COVID. She emotionally remembers one of her cases.<\/p>\n CARMELA MONSALVE<\/strong> It's an experience that's marked her life, but it has also taught her to give the best of herself when most necessary. That's why a trip to Rome like this one is a well-deserved break in the middle of a storm that, as a nurse, she's had to live through in these difficult months.<\/p>\n Daniel D\u00edaz Vizzi<\/p>\n Translation: CT<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" August 23, 2020.

\n\u201cObviously one hopes\u2014now with my baby\u2014to go to one of the pope's Masses or a papal blessing. It's kind of strange that everything's online, but we also appreciate it.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\n\u201cMy baby was born three days after the state of emergency was declared. I went into labor the same day they declared a state of emergency. Fortunately, everything went well, and I think these things that happen\u2014for example, the birth of a baby\u2014remind you that, although everything seems to be going wrong, there's always a light on the journey.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\n\u201cStrange. It's strange. The previous times I've been here, the whole square was so packed, that you couldn't move. Seeing it now\u2014this empty\u2014is also kind of sad. It's as if the world stopped turning, but we'll enjoy it and take all the pictures we want without anyone bothering us.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n

\n\u201cInitially, they told me this patient was stable, and we had to see how his condition developed. Out of nowhere, we saw that his vital signs were decreasing. The only thing we could do was hold his hand and tell him he could rest. He passed away three minutes later.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n
