We have made it. We have spend the past two days in Cologne Germany.

Saying goodbye to our Dutch friends was not easy, we formed great friendships with them. We have been blessed to bump into them a number of times already here in Germany. It has been great.

Some groups have ventured off taking day trips to castles and other German attractions. Some have remained in Cologne enjoying the company of thousands and thousands of their new best friends, attending mass, catechetical sessions, visiting the gorgeous cathedral, and preparing to greet our holy father as he crusies up the Rhine tomorrow afternoon.

People are dancing and singing throughout the city streets of Cologne. It is so inspiring to see so many people who share the same passion for Christ that our youth have.
