Hopefully I can write down everything that I want to write down, unlike the first time I tried making my Austria trip posts lel Anyway, I don't think I'll be allowed to write down every single detail about the trip, because our priest wants to keep it secret. Like on Facebook (social media in general) we're allowed to put up photos of the places we've been to and the things we've seen, but we're not allowed to explicitly say what church/cathedral we went to. I suppose it's for many reasons:
1. so that people who have never been on the trip (but might someday) can experience things first hand without any expectations
2. all of it is planned by him and his brother (I think) and he brings us to places that are off the beaten path, so when unrelated people know about it, it's not as special or as precious a place if everyone else knows. I guess the effort spent to specially seek out these places would also go to waste if their whole route was out there for everyone to see.
3. it's a pilgrimage: you're there to experience it and learn from it, not treat it as a tour lol
That being said, I don't really know how to organise the stories and histories of some of the places. I was thinking of putting the personal events in one post, stories of saints in another, and the more well-known places/churches in another (like Lourdes, Notre Dame+Sacre Coeur in Paris etc) since you know, the information on those saints and places are more accessible, so anything I write here might not be new lol Also, I think I should reorganise and rewrite all the notes I took on the trip into another notebook, 'cos I have bits and pieces all over the place inside the one I brought. For now, I'll transfer the photos onto my laptop (I didn't take as many as I did in Austria actually) and get started on writing as much as I can on Monday (maybe. no promises.)
