Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, Jul 23, 2013 / 04:06 am
A group of young people who traveled 18 hours on a plane to make it to Brazil for World Youth Day say the trip was worthwhile just to participate with their peers and hopefully to see the Pope.
"It has been a very tiring trip, but now we are very happy to be here and to see the Pope," Clara, 27, told CNA on July 22 after nearly two days of air travel and countless layovers.
The group of about 50 young people hails from the coastal nation of Mozambique located on the southeast corner of Africa and is bordered by the Indian Ocean.
"We hope that everything is wonderful," Clara said.
