We arrived in the evening jumped on a bus and headed to the hotel. For the most part it was a travel day. Not a whole lot of excitement. Actually, after the last "excitement" we went through in airports I am perfectly ok with calm, quiet, boring travel. That's not completely true, there isn't much with this group that is calm and quiet. We did play a little soccer in the airport- that is until Connor kicked a German! Don't worry he was very apologetic and she only had a broken ankle (not really.) When we arrived in Madrid we got to the hotel We were a couple of hours late so we missed the earlier mass. This turned out to a be a blessing. We went to dinner and then had a small private mass in a lobby of the hotel.
After mass we walked outside a bit. There were thousands and thousands of pilgrims starting chants and proudly waving flags. There was a lot of excitement among all the youth... the youth of the world! We are very happy to be here and are looking forward to the first sessions tomorrow!
