WOW!
I made it and my mom survived! We're finally back after our 16-day European
pilgrimage-backpacking trip. We visited 11 cities in 4 countries with 5
airplane rides, 2-overnight trains, 2-high speed trains and 2-regional trains.

Our
main purpose was to attend the beatification ceremony of Don Alvaro Del
Portillo in Madrid, Spain. But since we were already in Europe, might as well
visit other sites. It was already our chance!
So
we visited famous pilgrimage sites such as Fatima and Avila, prayed in major
Basilica like the Sacre-croix (Sacred Heart) in Paris, Milano Cathedral and St.
Peter's Square in Rome, attended Papal Audience in Rome and of course other
must-visit side trips -- Disneyland Paris, Eiffel Tower, Leaning Tower of Pisa,
Coloseo to name a few.
To
summarize our trip:
Spain:
Avila. Madrid. Segovia.
Portugal:
Fatima. Lisbon.
France:
Paris. Versailles.
Italy:
Milan. Florence. Pisa. Rome.
