Sunshine in Gavarnie

Today we headed up to Gavarnie, high up in the Pyrenees for Mass, a picnic and a hunt for 'werebears' (a werewolf/bear cross-breed!).

We packed for all eventualities but as we left the hotel we kept our fingers crossed that the sun in Lourdes would stay with us... and it did! We had to use umbrellas for shade rather than shelter.

Mass focused on building our lives on Jesus and included a dramatic gospel drama where 206 got a little wet from the rain (which washed away the house built on sand).




We then had a picnic before adventuring further up the mountains on the werebear hunt. We stopped for a quick game of "bogies" (seeing who could shout the word bogies the loudest!) and '206 Hymn Idol' which went to deadlock before being declared a draw! Thankfully we didn't come face to face with any werebears but heard them scream.

We had a final ice cream break in the sun before heading back down to Lourdes ready for our games evening. Who would be victorious tonight... Mexico, France or Australia?

After a good rest with some diary and postcard writing, the teams met in the hotel lounge to compete in 'Bob' and 'Peg':




It was a fun and competitive evening with Australia just edging ahead of France and Mexico:




The group joined together for night prayer before heading to bed ready for tomorrow's Trust Mass.
