Madrid day 5

Today is Friday. Today Gabbie answered the phone when her mom called so i did not have to wake up to answer the phone as she did so i ended up sleeping til round 10am which meant i did not go to the catechetical session neither did Carla and Gabbie. So we went down for breakfast and while we were eating we ran into Kattie and her brother Tyler. We told them about the meeting with the arch-bishop of Seattle and what time we were meeting in the lobby and it was a good thing we ran into them because they did not know what time we were meeting in the lobby or anything about the meeting. By the time i got back up to the room and out of the shower i only had about an hr and a half before i had to be in the lobby so i just updated the blog, wathced some tv, and listened to what ever Carla and Gabbie were playing on Carla's computer. then it was time to meet in the lobby so we went down. When we got down there i thought maybe they had left early which was ok with me because i had scouted out the rout with Larry yesterday so i knew how to get there, but it turned out that they had everyone had went down to get lunch before we left. So after everyone had gotten back and eaten we left for that meeting.

The meeting went well it was really hot in the room. But it was cool to see all of the fellow Washingtonians who were here at world youth day in Madrid. I even saw Sarah and Twan which was really cool because i did not know they were coming to Madrid. So the meeting was really more of a prayer and information session. We even got to meet the niece of a soon to be saint. After the meeting our group split into two groups one group went back toward the hotel and the other half stopped for lunch. After lunch we all came back to the hotel and went to our rooms. After a few hours i decided to venture out on the town by my self. I might have figured out what happened with my breathing after the welcome mass while i was out because it happened again while i was out. But i pushed through it and walked around for at least a half hour before i finally had to turn around and come back to the hotel. Im not shure if it was the fact that there were a tone of people or that i was alone or the fact that i am in a foreign country or a combination of all these things. I am going to let Gabbie use the computer before she falls asleep then i am going to try to upload pictures to the blog. I have tried two or three time today but i kept lousing my internet connection.
