Sounds about right.

More details on the pope’s meeting with president Obama from the White House press pool:

The president and pope walked very slowly and deliberately from the residence along the Colonnade, through sun and occasional shade of the Rose Garden-adjacent shrubbery. It appeared that the president was doing most of, if not all of the talking. At one point, as they grew nearer to the array of photographers positioned to capture the walk head-on, POTUS and His Holiness paused for a moment, and then eventually continued on, making the left turn to walk toward the Oval Office entrance.

The Vatican and White House press corps then quickly assembled to file in, in just as organized chaos as you’d expect from us. By the time your pooler entered the Oval, Pope Francis was seated to POTUS’ right in the two chairs opposite the Resolute Desk, smiling for the cameras. Here POTUS remarked, I notice that the pool is better behaved than usual.
