Well, it's been a long 24 hours. And, yet, here we are in Madrid! On Sunday afternoon we celebrated Mass at OLM and then headed to the airport for our flight. We're all still adjusting to the 6 hour time difference and trying to compensate for a lack of sleep on an anxious plane ride, but we are so excited to be in this great city to celebrate our faith.
Aside from settling in, we celebrated Mass at the hotel today for the Feast of Our Lady's Assumption with the 175 or so Diocese of Rockville Centre pilgrims. We also tried out some local food. Nothing very cultural, yet. The pancakes were good. Not IHOP good, but good. What isn't good is our Spanish speaking ability. That needs work!
Feliz viaje!
