SINTRA, PORTUGAL

If you like being a tourist, go to Sintra... Maybe I was a little burned out by the traffic or the heat or the other tourists by the time we got there, so possibly I didn't give Sintra a fair shake. Anyway, here are a few pix from historic Sintra which is kind of photogenic, located on the side of a 'mountain' with a castle on top...

FATIMA, PORTUGAL

Passing through...had to stop and see what this spot was all about. Religious Roman Catholic pilgrims take very seriously the significance of the apparitions and messages given to three young shepherds in 1917... Many thousands flock there every year...















                                   It is what it is....
