santiago and the pilgrims Mass…
havent updated in a couple days- sorry! so our experience in santiago was a little wet… ok so alot wet! the monday morning we woke up to rain- after a nice morning of sleeping in! and it pretty much rained the rest of the time we were there. we first went to hug st. james- a tradition upon arriving in santiago! then we went to the post office to retrieve our boxes we mailed ahead… both of which arrived no problem which was nice. after that we went to the pilgrims Mass- and it was quite the Mass!
we got there like 30 min early and had to wait in the pouring rain to get in- it wad so full we didnt get a seat! little did we know one of the heads of one of the political parties in spain was at the Mass… he even spoke during the homily- talk about no separation of church and state! and we got to see the censor- it was pretty cool- it almost hit the ceiling! we ran into oyr brazilian friends at Mass and they invited us to go to a local place for lunch- it was really good and lots of fun! after that we just did some shopping!
it was a good couple days minus the rain!
now we are in fatima- more to come on fatima and the trip here tomorrow! keep praying!
