Dear All Praise the Lord! What an absolutely wonderful day I had today! I spent it on a Pilgrimage in Fátima, one of Catholicism's holiest sites in the world and visited by around five million pilgrims each year. On this day in February, I was one of them. As I believe I mentioned in my last blog, my arrival in Fátima the evening before was just ethereal. The sun was setting and darkness encroa... Read Full Entry

Hello there! Thanks for reading my blog. I started it in 2010 to keep a record of my travels, to let people know how I'm going, and also to keep me sane at times while I'm on the road! I have written up my 28 most recent journeys so far, and have no plans at all to stop travelling just yet. 93 countries down, 102 more to go - watch this space! Alex... full info

Pilgrimages can be such a blessing...
I'm pleased to see that you are planning one to Santiago de Compostela, which was such a blessing for me in 2016.

Pilgrimages
Thank you Bob. I felt spiritually refreshed from this Pilgrimage. And indeed, your own Camino to Santiago partly inspired me to book this next one next year. Thank you for that 😊

That's a bit unusual, but not unheard of
I have once seen something similar, but on a much smaller scale. Candles that were too close together and started to melt from the collective heat and then caught fire. I don't remember where it was though. /Ake

Unusual
Yes, it was a bit unusual. I didn't expect such a raging fire, but judging by the size of the fire guards, it seemed pretty normal there...

Peace in Fatima
I am happy to hear you are feeling rejuvenated. This was a special experience for you. I am glad you were able to attend mass in the chapel. I am happy you experienced the convent. It sounds sparse. The Fatima experience was good for you and has a strong aura. I'm glad you ran into your Irish friends again. Fatima was a positive location for you to visit. Excellent. We end up where we need to be.

Peace in Fatima
"We end up where we need to be". I like that Merry, and I think I will remember that. Very true words. I certainly felt I needed my time in Fatima, it was the right place at the right time for me. Thank you for your very encouraging words.
