Portugal Day 5

Today was a different day as we decided to take a side trip to Fatima by bus rather than by foot. We awoke to cool weather and an overcast sky. the highest it got today was 24C.  Fatima is a really interesting place as its main purpose is to serve the shrine and all the people who visit it. We managed to see the various churches and the sites where the children saw the apparitions. The new cathedral is amazing; we were told that it holds almost 10000 people; I mentioned to Susie that it was large enough to hold 4 ice surfaces. We also got to attend a mass in English so I was able to pray for all my hockey sinners. We also burned nice long candles for our non-hockey folks.
