A very tiring first day in Madrid

All of us can definately say we are absolutely exhausted! Once we got to the hotel, our rooms weren't ready so we had to wait for a good couple of hours in the lobby. So we played more Uno, and got some of the hotel's breakfast. Once we got to our rooms we unpacked and headed out to follow Christ the King Church from Belton so they could show us where the subway was. This walk turned into a good 30 minute long, hot and tiring trip. We had to find our way back by ourselves and it's safe to say we were pretty confused on how to get back. But we did it! We were then given a 2 hour time to go back to our rooms and just relax, and take naps. At 4:30pm we met back at the lobby and went out for lunch. We ended up at this pizza place. It's a good thing we have somewhat spanish speakers because none of the workers know English. On our way back we got our WYD backpacks with a bunch of different things in it! Once we got back to the hotel, we met up in the Butler's room and said our prayers. Now we are all off to bed after this long and tiring day. Even though it's only 8:45 here! Tomorrow starts our actually WYD events! All of the pictures I have I put on my facebook because it takes too long to post on here!
