Saturday morning we met early 5:45 AM to complete final packing, assign vehicles everyone would be traveling with and offer prayers and blessings for a safe trip. We were sent off by family, friends, and Fr. Trout who led us in prayer and a final blessing. We traveled in caravans of 3 or 4 vehicles traveling down through Indianapolis and then over to Cincinnatti on our way down to Lexington. Included in this post are some pictures of our sendoff and our travels down to Lexington.
We had to wait a while before our rooms were ready and most were in their rooms before we headed off to Mass at Christ the King Cathedral. Our attendance was acknowledged with applause before Mass when we were asked to stand as a group and state where we were from. After Mass we went to Gattitown for Pizza and arcade games. We returned to the hotel where we found out who will be on which teams and met for a few minutes to get to know each other and set expectations for the coming week. Everyone had an hour or so of free time before turning in for the night.
We'll be including some pictures with each posting as our web access services permits so you can experience somewhat of what we're doing, seeing, and feeling. Sometimes our web access is not good so please be patient if we miss a day with pics; we'll include them as we can. Thanks for your support and we look forward to sharing this experience with you. Please come back to our blog often to see what we've been up to this week.
