After a very long and tiring day of planes and trains and automobiles--well, at least planes and buses--we finally made from Denver to London to Lisbon to Fatima, arriving at about 10pm last night. Boy, did that bed feel good! We slept until 8:30am this morning.
We spent the morning at the Shrine of Fatima, and attended Mass at the very spot where the Blessed Mother apppeared to the three shepherd children. Afterward, we found the Vodaphone store and bought a SIM card for my phone, then walked to the village right outside Fatima where the children lived. Their childhood homes reminded us both of Jeanette's grandparents' old house down on the farm in Del Rio.
Tomorrow we catch a bus to Porto, where we spend a couple of days before beginning our Camino walk.
