In this May 11, 2013 photo, newspaper vendor Nicolas Schandor smiles from his kiosk where he also sells calendars featuring Pope Francis in Buenos Aires, Argentina. With an Argentine on the throne of St. Peter, the South American country's capital city has launched a series of guided tours, that include Schandor's news stand, where the former archbishop used to buy the newspaper on the weekends. The three-hour weekend bus trips are a modest, and so far non-commercial first step at papal tourism. The tour bus winds through Buenos Aires twice each Saturday and Sunday and can carry about 40 passengers, cruising past 24 sites linked to the new pope. (AP Photo/Natacha Pisarenko)
