Toledo and Escorial
Yesterday we visited Toledo and Escorial. What a rich sense of Spanish history and culture. The Spanish kings are buried in the basement of the Escorial. Toledo is a beautiful city. Took some great photos and had my camera pick pocketed in a crowd in Madrid. Go to Kellenberg's website and there are photos. Pope Benedict arrives in Madrid tonight. Went to the modern museum and saw Picasso and Dali.

Lourdes
Our stay at Lourdes was amazing. Waited four hours to go into the baths. Prayed for all those intentions you mentioned to me. Amazing moment.
To be in the very spot where Our Lady spoke to St. Bernadette was breathtaking.

Madrid
We arrived in Madrid last night. Dinner in a restaurant off the Plata de Mayor. We came from Lourdes through the Pyrennes Mts. We stoped at Zaragoza and had mass at the Cathedral of Our Lady of the Pillar. Magnificent! More pictures posted on Facebook.
