Wed., 6/25 - Alba de Tormes to Fatima

Amazing breakfast!  Early start with a 2 hour drive to Alba de Tormes for Mass at the tomb of St. Theresa of Avila.  It was probably the most beautiful chapel we've has use of for Mass to this point.  After Mass we took a tour of the convent and museum, then had lunch and boarded the bus for the three and a half hour drive to Coimbra to venerate St. Elizabeth of Portugal before another hour drive to Fatima.  After dinner at the hotel we attended the Rosary Procession, which was beautiful!  The coolest part - three of us (Michael, Bruce and Rich) carried Mary for a portion of the procession and Sean carried the cross leading the procession!  Our tour guide Vanessa hooked us up!  That was definitely a highlight of the day!
