Looking back
Our Lady of Monte at the top of the mountain.
Counting
Gizelle cracked us up again. When we left the church we were missing one person. She said they whoever it was was a bad person anyway. They had must have had to stay in the church too long to confess too many sins! LOL!!
Our Lady of Monte front
Pretty church!
Back outside
Checking out the view again. It looked like the clouds were clearing up!
A little more
You can see a little more of the church in this shot.
Nativity scene
There were many scenes of the Nativity. It was just so dark and the photos aren't very good. I thought I'd include just one pic.
Very dark
We didn't get many good photos from inside the church because it was very dark inside.
Cute puppy!
The church was a dog place!
Great view!
The church was at the top of the mountain. It had a great view!
Mother Church of Our Lady of Monte
The original chapel has been here since 1489.

Santa Maria
You can sail on a replica of Christopher Columbus' ship, the Santa Maria. It was very small! Christopher Columbus moved to the island of Madeira with his wife in 1480 or 1481.
