The Welcome Party at Lourdes Tarbes Airport

We arrived at Lourdes' Tarbes Airport, a 20 minute drive from the hotel. It is a very quiet airport with maybe 8 flights in and out each day. Our pilgrims arrived on a Chartered Air Tahiti flight....out of San Francisco, you turn right to Lourdes, left to Tahiti :) ! They are greeted by a group of Knights and Dames of the Order along with the our colors. Assist those in need of help, match luggage, pass out water, load up the buses. We get to the hotel at about 2. Dinner is at 5. Team meetings at 6:30, then an early night for everyone.
