World Youth Day

Our first couple of days have been great! We flew into Rome and hit the ground running with a tour of historical Rome. The kids were tried after the flight but proved to be real troupers with the help of an excellent tour guide.
Sunday was spent in Assisi and you could feel the young people rewind to the peaceful spirituality of St. Francis.
We started Monday with mass at the Vatican. We had the whole place to ourselves as we celebrated mass. Once the doors were opened the people flooded in. In the afternoon we went to St. Paul outside the walls and of course all the fountains and plazas the young people hang out.
Today we had a whole day of travel to Spain and where greeted with a great surprise. We are stay one night in a beautiful old monastery. The kids keep calling it a castle, I'll wait until tonight's mass to break it to them.
That is all for now check my blog for more.
