New Zealand/ Australia

Hi, haven't been here in a while. I have been gone. I went to New Zealand and Australia for World Youth Day. It was great. The first part of the trip was in New Zealand. I went with the church group. We did many things there like kayaking, black water rafting and other fun stuff. While we were there we learned the Haka which is what the New Zealand rugby team does before every game. It came from the Maori. We went to a concert where we learned more about them. St. Mary Haka


The second part of the trip we were in Australia. We went to concerts and we got to see the pope when he passed by. We had fun. One of the days we had to go to the vigil and sleep in a race park. Out in the cold could not sleep all night but it was fun to be there with 500,000 other people. The whole trip was great. In three years the next World Youth Day is going to be in Madrid Spain. I am definitely going. I you want pictures just email me.
