Well the first official day of our pilgrimage has gone well...well mostly. Everyone arrived on time to the Diocesan Centre with passports in hand. Archbishop Prendergast celebrated Mass and it was a joyful albeit hot and humid gathering. I think the Lord was preparing us for Spain's heat. The buses showed up early and the departure was smooth. Lots of good conversation was had on the bus ride! It was very rainy on the ride and the drivers had to reduce their speed.
No major problems checking in and at security and after a bit of a supper, we are currently having small groups. The Ottawa pilgrims are starting to get to know each other...the beginning!
Air France has just notified us that the flight will be delayed about half an hour while the prepare the cabin. I am sure that will be no problem as we can pick up that time easily in the air. Oh yeah...the plane is an Airbus (a double decker!).
The next entry will be from Spain. Hasta Muy Pronto.
