Made it to Portugal and we are in Fatima.   I can only say wow, its incredibly powerful.  

Some points.... the landscape of Portugal looks exactly like inland San Diego in terms of hills and plants and the people are not overly friendly and can be quite fragrant.

I have said all your intentions twice so far and lit many very large candles at a big outdoor candle cove that looks like a giant fireplace.  We went to mass at 330 with some priests from Ireland.  They prayed very fast but the homily was good.  We also took a tram ride around and got to see Blessed Lucia's house inside and out.  Finally we visited where the angel first appeared to the children.

I've tried to post the pictures within this thread with no luck so on to plan 2....  stick with me!
