So we are here on retreat in Salamanca. Sitting in a reflection on how to talk about WYD. I guess we all have both similar and varying ideas. The first week in the Holy Land was amazing. It was moving and inspiring and even though it was hot and we were flat out, I never felt that it was too difficult. The 51 of us that traveled through there were inspirational people - always full of love and energy. Highly recommend it!
The second week in Spain was entirely different. Crowded and loud; hot and exhausting. Fr Greg said the exodus from the final mass was like being in a refugee camp, he was right. It was desolate and dusty; you queued for food and drink for hours and different cultures clashed though living side by side. But others were also right - it was a bit like God's people going out to spread his word.
And now we are all starting to leave - tomorrow morning I'm jumping on a bus and heading back to Madrid to begin the next leg of my journey and I can't wait!
