Pilgrim Blog: Day 4

Phineas:
I and the rest of the group have finished our first full day down under. We spent most of the day walking around Sydney to various locations, exploring Sydney, saying "hello" to every group we saw for World Youth Day. So far, I think we have encountered people from Italy, Spain, Australia, Germany, Scotland, Ireland, France, Nigeria, Brazil, Mexico, South Africa, Korea, Vietnam, just to name a few. Keep in mind WYD has not officially started yet. Luckily, we have discovered how to upload photos onto this blog and situated below are the first pictures we have so far from today, all taken by myself.


Walking over to Darling Harbor for the first time, and stylishly showing off our awesome, flaming hats.

While at St. Mary's Cathedral, we were lucky enough to view the relics of Blessed Pier Giorgio Frassati.
Took a nighttime walk further into Sydney Harbor and saw the Opera House, as well as the "coat hanger" bridge across the harbor.

Koala! We took a trip to Sydney Wildlife World right on Darling Harbor to see numerous animals, insects, birds, and reptiles native to Australia

Dinner at Nicks on Darling Harbor. Chicken, and only Chicken.
