Church of Santa Maria

According to our tour guide Margarita, there are 13 churches situated in the tiny town of Obidos. Why so many? Sorry I don’t know, she didn’t explain.

I only visited one church, the Church of Santa Maria. Yeah I was too lazy to walk any farther because of the heat. Walking on uneven cobbled stones also had its challenges.

I lighted 4 candle offerings for my son. And one each for me, Edmund, Oyen, and one more for other things. Mas maraming prayers for my son ano? Kunsumisyon kasi ang mga nangyari sa kanya, sa sobra nyang tiwala sa mga kaibigan. It could happen to any one of us, to any one of you. Syempre friends, we trust them. Most especially his so called best friend. Iba naman pala ang intention, to take advantage of him. Kaya hayun, sobrang daming problema. My son is down na nga, his so called friend is still trying to kick him. Until now. My son had very high regards pa naman on this young fellow. He used to consult with him regarding business prospects, etc. Kinukwento pa nya sa akin kung gaano daw ka-smart yung friend nya, isasama daw siya sa business. They will manufacture pillows daw. Tapos one time my son came home, he was excited naman to inform me that they would venture naman daw into a coffee shop. Since my son had no experience in this type of business, friend daw nya would take the lead. Mali ang pagkilala ng anak ko. Kala nya mabait and sincere. Hay buhay.
