Hello. I really want to post a nice write-up about the Way of St.James, attending Beatification, and traveling around Rome experiences. Thus, for now, I will just post 7 favorite photos of my recent pilgrimage =D

| The view on the first day of the Way of St. James, when we reached Portomarin after walking under drizzle for the last 4 km |

 |
| The Holy Door at the Cathedral of Santiago (last day of the walk). It was opened only during Jubilee year |

 |
| Toledo, a medieval town in Spain. No matter how many photos I took from various angles, nothing can capture the beauty of this town =) If I come to Toledo again, I will stay at least one night =D |

| Waiting for the Beatification of Don Alvaro. Quoting a priest, this is a "celebration of holiness" and it should inspire us to struggle to be holy in our ordinary work, like Beato Don Alvaro. One thing to note is Don Alvaro was born and grew up in Madrid itself. There's no excuse not to be holy (e.g., it's a big city, or it's so urbanized - hard to be charitable, etc etc cos someone else who has lived there before is now beatified ^^) |

| Spot the Holy Father! I just snapped anyhow because I really wanted to see him clearly (I saw him much bigger than the photo after he walked pass my camera). It's so nice that each time I see Basilica of St Peter, I was reminded that I'm so 'near' to the Holy Father and I should pray harder for him and his intentions |

| Painting: School of Athens (Raphael). I saw this painting in lecture notes a few years back, but to really admire the real painting was a totally different experience. |

| Assisi! Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh (speechless; very nice to walk around here.. another town in which I wish to stay over at least night next time) |
