Bonjour! Today we woke up bright and early to another breakfast of French bread and croissants, and embarked upon our journey to Madrid for the start of World Youth Day. Au voir, France! Hola, Espana! And then….another 10 hour bus ride. Our ride was filled with sleep, a 5-language Rosary, and much laughter. At one of our rest stops, we participated in Mass behind the gas station with a group from Poland. It was a stark contrast to the Mass in the cathedral we celebrated just a few days ago. But it was definitely an experience we won’t forget! Then after a couple more hours of travel, we finally made it to Madrid! Our hotel was a really pleasant surprise, because we have beautiful balconies, normal sized elevators (they fit more than two people), the showers are hot, and everything is beautiful! We spent the majority of the evening going on a walking tour of Madrid and finished up the evening with tapas at a local restaurant. The food was amazing and truly authentic Spanish food! We are thankful to be able to get some sleep tonight because we will actually be able to sleep in a little bit tomorrow morning!
