Portugal ++ Fatima ++ A frontal view of the whole area.

Portugal ++ Fatima ++ Inside the Basilica ++ 3 big organs. I went to the basilica when they has Mass. The FIRST real catholic mass in my 16 years. Theres this part which kind of surprised me. The guy leading the mass said something in Portugese and then everyone started moving towards each other and kiss each other's cheeks, not direct, but the action. My mom and I were standing at the back, so we didn't expect much attention. But there was this Portugese lady who went us to us and kissed our cheeks. Of course we did 'reciprocate' her actions, but I really didn't expect anyone to come up to strangers this easily. Probably she thought we were of the same religion, which made us not strangers, despite having yellow skin, black hair and brown eyes. The whole day, I was kind of happy, so be actually approached by a stranger (for the good reasons) and I didn't actually 'stone' but 'reply' to her action.
