I make a lot of promises, don't I. I'll now tell you about the soccer game I mentioned in the last post.
Harvest Pilgrimages has just announced its partnership with a new pilgrimage group called Inroads. To celebrate the launch of the new program, the new partners gave free tickets to the entire Harvest contingent from Australia to go and see the friendly match between ex-professional players from Spain, vs ex-professional players from the rest of the world. It was a special game for the close of WYD, and those who went thoroughly enjoyed it. The World won 2-1, even though Spain played better overall.
OK, now on to Barcelona. Our flight here was very short for us, only 65 minutes. We were met and taken by coach tour hotel, and we had lunch. After lunch, we had a tour of the city, visiting places like the basilica of Sagrada Familia and the Cathederal. We then had dinner and a bit of free time.
Today we go to Monseratt and Manressa, which you can Google.
God bless,
Liam

What a night! Great game followed by a very interesting back to hotel. Violent storm and lots of rain. Great though when we started singing " I'm singin g in the rain" at the Metro and lots of peoiple joined in even wehen they did not speak English. It stopped the pushing and shoving down the stairs of the Metro which could have been very dangerous.
