After two failed attempts to take off from the Thunder Bay Airport, we took off two hours late, but still made our Toronto connection to Madrid. Arriving in Madrid in good time we immediately hopped on the coach for our host diocese of Plasencia. Our hosts showed us to our accomodations and we staked out territory for ourselves on the gym floor of the community centre. Here we will call ´home´for the next few days...
The first evening of our stay in Tericellis de la Tessa, a cloud shielded us from the scorching sun for the afternoon, remaining stationary until sunset. We thought of it as a small miracle. As the sun set, the cloud took on the unmistakeable form of a whale! When we have a chance, we´ll upload the picture for you!
Access to internet is quite limited here....
Until next time!
The pilgrims...
Glad you made it guys!
