Hi Everybody!
Well it's certainly been awhile since my last entry hasn't it? Hope everyone is doing well and having a wonderful summer. I've been in Sydney lately for World Youth Day and had an absolute blast! Us girls from Lloyd all (7 of us) stayed with one family about an hour and a half outside of Sydney. We had a marvelous time and I was quite sad to leave the beautiful family we'd been living with. Seeing the Pope was pretty special... even though we weren't all that close... still a great experience. I got my picture in the Sydney National newspaper. (Daily Telegraph) which I figure was pretty amazing considering the sheer amount of people there. Mom says it's online so I'm sure you can all check it out if you want to :) I'm in Caloundra now (a little North of Brisbane) and am staying with some friends we met when we first got out here for the beginning of the WYD festivities. Tomorrow Jenna and I are heading up to Townsville where we'll get a chance to experience the Great Barrier Reef and hopefully some other fascinating stuff too. It's nearly time for supper so I must away.
Take Care and God Bless,
Monica
PS: all the pilgrims for WYD walked across this bridge as part of the pilgramage walk to the final mass. It was very fantastic and I'll not hesitate to say that I had no desire whatsoever to climb the thing in a bridge walk. Ack!
