Fatima

Our journey to Fatima started with a walk to the Metro. We went about 10mins to our stop called Jardim Zooligico to catch the bus that would take us the rest of the way. The bus ride took 1 1/2 hours. We arrived and the weather was a bit cooler than in Lisbon. Fatima was a quiet and reverent place. There were many people but it seems that it was not as commercialized as Lourdes.

We took a little mini train that toured you around the city and maybe halfway in the journey one of the girls realized her camera was missing! Ah, the adventure begins...we hailed the different trains, went to the lost and found, retraced our steps, went even to the police station...of course, no luck. She had 3 days/countries worth of photos in the camera and she was sad about the loss. At least it wasn´t her passport.

That evening I downloaded all my photos and video to my hard drive.
