A few more Fatima thoughts
2 мая 2024 г., Португалия ⋅ ⛅ 15 °C
All in all this was quite an experience. It was initially very overwhelming. The Basilica again looks like something from Disney. The interior Sanctuary is very peaceful amidst the throngs of people.

It was interesting observing all of the different types of people. Some were actually crawling to the Basilica on their hands and knees. Others would lie flat on there tummies in front of the alter. Others would only take pictures. I saw the selfie stick a lot. Still others would just walk by....Young, old, in wheelchairs, walking with canes or with a guide dog.....

There was also a candle section Some people had candles 5 feet in length!!!!

Tomorrow is a very long day. Fatima to Salamanca 9 hours on the bus, and then an hour train to AvilaЧитать далее

Fatima to Avila
3 мая 2024 г., Испания ⋅ ☁️ 14 °C
This bus ride was not quite as nice as the previous one.🥺
The scenery was very interesting. I arrived in Salamanca after 9 hours. I then walked 2.5 km to the train station.

The train was wonderful. Then I walked 2 km to my Hostel which was inside the walls.

The next morning, I walked the ancient murallas ,,( Spanish for walls) first thing. I was so happy that I did because of the heat and the crowds!!

I visited the Basilica of Santa Teresa. They had her ring finger preserved including the ring!! Also bones from Saint John of the Cross both were Christian mystics.

I basically took in all the sights of Avila in 1 day🤗 18 km in total😅 Loved every moment. Very cool place.

It was a perfect day ending with churros and seeing Storks😉😍🤗🥰💕💕💕💕💕Читать далее

Avila to Bilbao
5 мая 2024 г., Испания ⋅ 🌫 12 °C
This is always the least favorite part of travel.....going home. It is not that I don't want to go home it is just the logistics🥺

My train left Avila at 15:30 and arrived at Valladolid at 5 pm. My next train to Bilbao is at 18;50 arriving in Bilbao at 22:20. My flight tomorrow is at 10:30 am....so a lot of travel in a very short period of time.🤔 But all self inflicted....

I really like train travel as it is very comfortable and punctual

I am going to add some more pics from Avila as I took a lot.Читать далее

Bilbao - Paris-Calgary-Vancouver
6–9 мая 2024, Испания ⋅ ☁️ 10 °C
Had a fairly good sleep at the Hostel. Up bright and early to catch the bus to the airport.
I just love early morning walks.

I discovered I have over 20 packets of Starbucks instant coffee left so I ordered just hot water at the airport. So much cheaper😉

Boarded my first of 3 flights.
Arrived in Paris on time.
It was quite a process of going through Customs and then trying to figure out the Terminal and Gate. I rode 2 different buses and amazingly arrived where I should be.

Paris is certainly getting ready for the Olympics with every type of merchandise you could possibly imagine.

I boarded my second flight .
West Jet has been great. Comfortable seats and the flight attendants are very friendly and generous giving you a full glass of Diet Coke instead of a tablespoon .

Our plane was delayed into Calgary. I managed to get to my next flight in time even though we were delayed because the Customs Police had to physically remove a passenger from the flight.🧐

I was absolutely delighted to fly on a West Jet plane that was painted with a Disney design🥰👍😂💖

Kurt greeted me at the Vancouver airport

We will visit Oma and Laura tomorrow.Читать далее
