Ok, I'll write the blog first, then try pictures next. I don't see anything jumping out at me saying "click here to post pictures". If I can't figure out the pictures on this website, I'll figure out another option, before I go to bed tonight...
So today we witnessed the absolute beauty of Sydney. As I mentioned, we went on a walk from "The Spit" to "Manly". Our tour guide, Sanchee, mentioned that the walk is pretty flat, and not very strenuious at all. Well, either she lied, or she wears a cape, and battles the forces of evil on the weekends. We basically walked up a "mountain", and then back down. We all did pretty well as a group. Joe T. twisted his ankle, but it doesn't seem to be slowing him down, and Lindsay fell in the ocean, while wading (she's going to kill me for posting that). However, it was all in good fun. Now, during the walk, there was plenty of views of Sydney Harbor, and a handful of neat rock formations, and cool wildlife. There was an area of spiders that had bodies the size of Jawbreakers, and legs about 3 inches long. Creepy, but the locals say they are harmless...
Everywhere we went, we spread our Catholic mojo, and more of the group is starting to initiate conversation with the locals (who were still EXTREMELY FRIENDLY today). We ate at a local, very small, quaint restaurant. I really can't compare it to anything in Dearborn area. But all of our group was impressed with the ambiance (including the bathroom), and everyone was happy with their food. All of this was done in the town of Manly. Manly, was almost identical to Long Beach, CA, if you've ever been there (surfers, skateboarders, surf shops, lots of people walking around, etc.)
Tomorrow WYD starts... We handed out the WYD passes today. Pray for us that no one loses their passes. We are planning on participating with the Diocese of Detroit for Morning Prayer, then later in the afternoon, we are planning on going to the Opening Mass for WYD.
Thanks again for all of your prayers and support. God Bless!!!
