James rang today and Dad and I had a brief hello with him. He was on his way to the Stations of the Cross.
Dad and I have been following much of the World Youth Day events on SBS and are enjoying it so much. We watched the full coverage of the the Harbour "boat-a-cade" yesterday and were so impressed and so proud to think "Hey, our son is on that boat with the Pope" Mel told us that he was actually on the same level as the Pope was. No, didn't get to talk with him, but he said that he was pretty close to where he was. Aunty Carmel rang tonight to say that Dean was on the boat also - He took a group of New Guinean people down from the Rockhampton Diocese. He and James have not managed to catch up.
Today, we - perhaps I should say I - as Dad was working in between looking, watched the Stations of the Cross. It was just so special and the actors were just great; music was spectacular; it was all quite awesome.
