Photo batch #1 - WYD



This is so cool - I've finally figured out how to interface my photos with my blog! Now to make up for lost time... the first one (above) is me standing in a wonderfully serene courtyard annexed to the cathedral of Aachen (in the background) - this is where Charlemagne, the first holy roman emperor, setup his court in 800AD. Awesome place...



Sean and I enjoying the sunset in Cologne Germany, with the cathedral in the background.



This is me, in my natural habitat, enjoying a perfect summer afternoon in a cafe in Europe with a river in the background and having just welcomed the Pope to the city...



... and this is the riverside where I (and... a few hundred thousand other people) greeted the Pope.



Walking one of the pilgrimage routes to WYD, wearing my awesome Cardinal Ratzinger t-shirt no less...



Everyone has a picture of themselves in neuschwanstein, but how many of them took it from the cliff overlooking the tourist bridge? Well, probably a few - but at least I'm in the smaller group.



Me enjoying the ambiance (and beverages) of the most famousest beerhall in Germany - the Haufbrauhouse in Munich.



Serving Mass in Cologne Germany for Cardinal Leveda (left of presbyter), who is taking-over Pope Benedict XVI's former job as head of CDF while he was still Cardinal Ratzinger. I'm on the far right (with the super bright New Balance shoes...). It was cool meeting all the Cardinals and Bishops that were around for WYD.

Okay, I think 8 pictures is enough for now. Besides the need to do my homework just moved from "urgent" to "desperate"...
