As we awoke and left at 7:30, we looked for a place That accepted our breakfast vouchers, but found none. So we bought breakfast today. We proceeded to the church Santa Teresa y San Jose, where we had catechesis ans Mass. Chatechesis was long but inspiring. Some great quotes from chatechesis were: "I got that from Justin Bieber", "iPod: interiority, prayer, obedience, and devotion", "God gave man women, and everything else is made in China!", "how many of you pray, asking to know how to pray?". After Mass, we had lunch provided by WYD. Then came siesta time! We were given a few hours to rest, shop, or just hang out. At 5 o'clock we made our way to the central plaza, where we awaited the Pope's arrival. The Pope arrived at about 8:30 to our area. During our wait, we met some new friends from all over the world. We returned to the hostel in separate groups at separate times. We all went to various restaurants for dinner, using our vouchers. It is now midnight and we are ready to sleep. Goodnight and good luck.
