This is a powerful shot of the stations - definately worth the cold night to witness it.

This is a view of the Sydney Opera House from the bridge as we crossed on our pilgrimage walk

Sydney has NEVER closed this bridge down before, so we felt privileged that they closed it down for us (and 300,000 other pilgrims) to walk across.

This is some of our gang settling in for the overnight Vigil. The sun was down but the temperature hadn't really plummeted (yet). It got VERY cold overnight so not much sleep was had and bad hot chocolate was a premium just to keep your hands warm.

Somehow we managed to luck into seats 15 feet away from the Pope TWICE!!!!. While we were a little disappointed at how fast he passed us at the Opera House, he drove around the track slowly before the closing mass and somehow we were only 15 feet away again. This is a much better picture than before.
