Warm and friendly people, transportation was easy to access, everything was clean (except the taggers graffiti just like any other city in the world - they really need to step up the punishment for that, like cleaning public washrooms for six months for every offense), and the food was good. They even drive on the same side of the road as North America!Cheapchickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15158208632054014311noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2302691153455448442.post-82897548384214055382014-04-20T09:10:18.776-07:002014-04-20T09:10:18.776-07:00We never got to Fatima but heard that it was fabul...We never got to Fatima but heard that it was fabulous.
