Viva el Papa!!! (Yuliana's Blog)

---

“Things are limited, God is not,” was our theme of the day. After waiting two days and many hours in the bursting heat, we saw the Pope! We were all very exhausted yet very excited when we were able to see him up close. Even though we were stuck in heat and massive crowds seeing him made our trip complete. There were people everywhere even hanging from trees. Some said, “I didn’t take pictures because I was star struck,” and others said, “I saw the Pope twice in one day, who can say that.” The Stations of the Cross were impressive! There were wood carved statues, some many years old. After the Pope went through all the stations, the procession with the wooden cross carried by pilgrims began. At each station the cross was raised by youth from around the world and the prayers were read before moving to the next station. Then it was home on the "stinky people" train and to bed.
