The Art of Crowd Control

On Thursday we went on our backpack free day. After a bit of Catechesis, we went to try and join a ProLife Flash Mob. We didn't find it, but we found some nice Irish people also here for the dance. Since it was a bust, we joined some Brazilians for a group dance. :D it was fun and in a circle that kept adding new people. Then we went to the Prado museum to see art by Raphael, Goya, El Greco, Velasquez, Rembrant and more. We rented the audio four guides and enjoyed some special exhibits based on Christ. It was amazing! I realized how much I enjoy museums and bcos j should go to the ones in Austin.

After that we ventured to the park (Berlin). We hung out in the grass for a bit and watched boys play with soccer balls and kids climb a jungle gym. Old ladies were chattering as parents took some time away from the park on some benches. It was a nice moment.

After we went by the Lifeteen XLT event for a little while. When we were getting on our way back to get some food, the metros were POURING out Italians and other CL (Communion and Liberation) members to a party. It was probably over a thousand people passing by us in a matter of minutes.

The metros are also filled to the brim. Pilgrims are everywhere. It's like as busy as Times Square at New Year's on every corner and in every store and pouring in and out of the Metro! Luckily Ashley and I travel in a party of two instead of 15, so its not bad to get through a group of people. We still get smashed in the Metro trains and have had our share of smelling body odor!

That's the last thing I will miss when I return.
