It's a busy week for President Bush, headlined by the first visit of Pope Benedict XVI to the US of A.

Mr. Bush welcomes the pope tomorrow in a 4 p.m. arrival ceremony at Andrews Air Force Base, then takes part in a welcome ceremony on the White House South Lawn Wednesday at 10:30 a.m., followed by an 11:15 Oval Office meeting.

For all pope all the time, check out The Washington Times' Pope page here, which has a detailed itinerary for all of Benedict's events here in the city from tomorrow through Thursday. He goes to New York Friday for an address to the United Nations.

And for valuable details such as the parade routes that Pope Benedict will take on Wednesday and Thursday through the District, check out Julia Duin's blog devoted to the papal visit.

Even as the pope will be in town Thursday, Mr. Bush will be hosting British Prime Minister Gordon Brown for a 1:15 p.m. Oval Office meeting, followed by a 2:35 press conference, scheduled for the Rose Garden. Mr. Bush and first lady Laura Bush host Mr. Brown and his wife, Sarah, for a social dinner Thursday night at 7 in the White House residence.

Mr. Bush hits two intown hotels Friday morning (the Hilton and Renaissance) for speeches to the National Catholic Prayer Breakfast and the America's Small Business Summit 2008, then heads out to Camp David for the weekend, but he'll still be working.

On Friday afternoon at 4, newly elected South Korean President Lee Myung-bak arrives at Camp David for talks with Mr. Bush. The Bushes host Mr. Lee and his wife, Kim Yoon-ok, for a dinner at 7 p.m., and then on Saturday at 11:25 a.m., Mr. Bush and Mr. Lee will hold a press conference.
