As Rakhi mentioned, today our group has split up and we were placed into different host families. The guys stayed together, but the girls were paired off, so no one will be alone. It'll be different not having everyone around when we go to sleep and to have everyone there to say hello to when you wake up. But it will be quite the experience staying in the house of a true Australian. =)
Sandra and I will be staying together in a host family's house. Upon entering the house we were completely blown away by the generosity of the host family and the size of this place! We each got our own room with a queen size bed and they completely opened up there doors to us, that includes the fridge doors as well! They were so welcoming and forthgiving that I'm overwhelmed by their generosity and am completely grateful for all that they have done for us. One thing I do have to say for this experience is that everyone we have met, from the Benedictine monks, to the parish staff, to even the people that we have passed on the street, everyone has been very welcoming and seems quite happy to see us there...
I'm looking forward to tomorrow, because the festivities of WYD 2008 begin. So the main reason why we travelled half way around the world (litterally!) is finally upon us! =)
God Bless!
