Greetings and peace brothers and sisters!
I landed in Lisbon via Madrid and drove to Fatima yesterday, words are useless in holy places, pictures don’t tell half the story. I really do not like being late to Mass so of course I was late to two!
I’ve spent some time in tearful gratitude, AH mazing. I stayed at Santa Maria Hotel, 49 euro included breakfast with fantastic coffee.
I’m staying at Moov Hotel, (55 euro) about an hour from the coastal route. I made a reservation at Sardines and Friends for tomorrow night. Please pray I find it
I reserved a private room quoted 40 euro. Maybe I could do a dorm with shared bath but I turn 53 on the 23rd of this month and I do like my privacy.
I paid Tuitrans 48 euro for the transfer of my carryon luggage from Porto to A Guarda. I’ll see how that goes and decide if I want to keep that up to Santiago or see about sending it up directly to Santiago. I admittedly have too much lotion and hair product, 2 extra pairs of pants, twelve power bars, a bag of nuts, an extra power adapter, a dress to wear to church, and a pair of shoes I could live without but decided not to. I also have laundry detergent sheets so I could wash and wear if I choose.
Vanities! It’s all Vanities!
The last time I was in Spain it was my 30th birthday and this is the first time I’ve been to Portugal. I’m going to do things like a first time camino walker who doesn’t speak Spanish or Portuguese and is using What’s App for the first time. I’ll do it with the help and unlimited resources of my good, good Father.
I’ll keep you posted,
Your sister princess, daughter of the one true King,
Margaret
P.S it was sunny, with picturesque clouds, a light breeze, and maybe got up to 75 degrees Fahrenheit? Yaaassss 🌤
What a gift
