After satisfied eating breakfast, we're going to the Holy city, Lourdes. :) Lourdes is a small city, but if you look around there are friendly people everywhere, which is so cool! Along the street, we can see many stores that sell things like curtain, handycraft, foods, but many of them sell souvenirs or Catholic things, like Virgin Mary sculpture, rosary, and many other things. I bought a few rosary and also bottle for put the Holy Water. I bought for my friends. They would be like it! ;)
And there were many kinds of rosaries and with variation of prices. I looked Swaroski made which is so pretty. its like shimmering and sparkling. There are white, blue and pearl crystal. Personally i love the crystal. :P
My neighbour bought Virgin Mary Statue, and i really love it. She looks soo beautiful. ^^
After we take walk, at night we went to the church to attend the candle procession. There were so crowded there, like there were thousand of people from all around the world. they talk with different languages and i felt dizzy and amazed at the same time.
And when we pray "salam Maria" we speak with every different languages and i heard indonesian also. ^^
When i was walking, i see the very cute baby ever! i thought she just 8 months old.and she wears Hello Kitty suite!! Her dad told me that they come from Canada. ;)
After the candle procession was finished, we're taking pictures, then we were going back to the hotel.
I love the hotel's design. Its classic and fancy at the same time. Its like an england ancient castle's design. but the room wasnt that good. it looks ancient and a bit uncomfortable, but its clean, so thats fine. :)
personally i like this city. Lourdes can count to be one of my fav city in West Europe. ;)
