WYD Trek TNG: Day 20

The hills are alive with the sound of prayer

By Josh Tng

The Austrian countryside.

Today, the remnants of our group of pilgrims visited several churches, a small summer estate of the last Austrian emperor, and a traditional Austrian farm.

"The hills are alive with the sound of music," danced into my head as we drove through the countryside.

Despite my Sound of Music vibe, only a small amount of the rural Austrians we met embraced the pop culture film gem.

As this day ends, we will bid farewell to Father Richard Au, who will be leaving tomorrow one day earlier than the rest of the group. With much effort, he managed to lead our energetic group to various locations, and for that deserves much thanks.
