McClatchy Newspapers (MCT) - In one hand I carried a white plastic bucket strapped to a couple of wood-framed screens. In the other I held on to a small shovel. My camera hung from my shoulder.

Star Tribune (Minneapolis) (MCT) - I plopped down my bag in the room at Pinehurst Inn, a bed and breakfast on an old spacious estate in Bayfield, and surveyed my surroundings.

Two much in two days: Writer wishes he'd allowed more time to take in a geyser of sights
McClatchy Newspapers
10/28/2008, by Allen Holder
McClatchy Newspapers (MCT) - It was early evening when I approached Old Faithful for the first time _ just after an eruption. Should I wait for the next one or keep going? Plenty of daylight remained, but my hotel was still 35 miles away.

What makes Fatima special? On arriving the visitor can not help but notice that the area and its inhabitants remain humble and simple. There is an immediate sense of calm, particularly when entering the shrine area. It is not the grand Basilica that draws the pilgrim to prayer, but rather the simple Capelinha, site of the actual apparitions. It is here that pilgrims drop to their knees in front of the statue where Mary, Our Mother, made her requests to the 3 shepherd children; pray, repent, amend and sacrifice. Her specific prayer of choice? The daily recitation of the Rosary. And her promise? World peace, the total conversion of Russia and the interior conversion of individual souls. Fatima offers hope to a tired world. It is the only Marian Shrine where a public miracle, “the dancing sun”, witnessed by thousands of onlookers, proved its authenticity and continues to offer pilgrims from every walk of life spiritual renewal.
