Saterday afternoon in madrid

so i already blogged about the fact that i saw the Pope and i posted the picture. In the afternoon i had lunch with Laura, Kristen, Devan and Emily. Then Laura Devan and Emily whent to the grosry store to get some snacks for the trip out to the air field and Kristen showed me a few of the more reasonable priced souvenir shops so i did not spend more than i needed to. When we came back we had about a half an hour before we were planing on leaveing for the air field and at that point i was not shore if i was even going to go out there that night or if i would just go out on sunday morning for the mass because i knew there was a group that was not going to stay the night no matter what happened.

But i decided i would go out there and if i found the rest of the group who was planning on staying the night then i would stay with them. So when i came down stairs to the lobby Father, Veronica, and Johnathen were waiting. When we were on our way out the door to the metro Carla & Gabbie came down but they wanted to walk the entier 5 miles from the start point to the air field and Father, Veronica, Johnathen and i were going to take the metro to the closest stop then walk the last mile or so in. So we left and when we got on the metro it was semi packed but it got even more so with every stop the train made. We finally go to our stop and off the train and headed up there were so many people that we did not really need any direction as to were to go. It was really hot but luckily there were more than a few residence who either had a hose out the window or were pouring buckets of water over there balconies onto the passing pilgrims and filling our water bottles which was ausom because it was really hot. We finally made it to the air field and got in and there were just so many people that we decided unless we found our group we were not staying. Unenforenetly we did not find anyone from our group so father and i headed back to the hotel and we got back just in time for the vigil to start. after the vigal Father, Larry and i went out to dinner. When i got back to the room after dinner Carla was in the shower and Gabbie was on her bed on the computer and we both said at the same time "I thought you were staying the night!" then Gabbie asked about father making shore he was ok and i said we had just come back from dinner. then i fell asleep.
