"When you hear the stories of faith and saints in Spain and how the people fought hard to preserve the faith here, it makes you appreciate your faith more," said Dill, who arrived in early August to spend time getting oriented to key World Youth Day sites and learn how to get around on the Madrid Metro.
Dill said he liked being a pilgrim instead of a tourist.
"As a tourist you come and visit a lot of churches, but as a pilgrim you come as the church," Dill said.
