I shook the bishops hand

 This morning I explored the old part of town, fuelled by strong coffee and a pastel de nata. 

The cathedral was closed, but the square was buzzing. A large screen with chairs around was broadcasting from inside. A red carpet went around from the nearby museum and it was lined with scouts on guard. The new Bishop of the Algarve was having a special service and as I stood by the red carpet he came along and as he did with many in the crowd, he shook my hand.
