pope's in town ...

so world youth day is in full effect here in sydney town and the city has been overrun with joyful, enthusiastic, and sometimes straight up crazy young catholics and the pope who wears funny red shoes (its true). its been hectic catching trains, walking around the crowded streets with flags from different countries flying, and having your coffee shop packed with folks from all over europe ... but i really like it. its created a buzz around town having close to half a million (thats 500,000 for those who have difficulty reading numbers) people running around high on life and god. it can be overwhelming at times, but hey its only a world youth day that happens to last an entire week ...

check out the photos from the sydney morning herald's coverage of the opening mass ...
