We were able to use our layover time to have a tour of Miami, mass at St. Michael the Archangel parish, and had lunch. When we got on the bus they had little gift bags for us with a cookie and a little Cuban ham sandwich. It was amazing and evident that God provides and loves us. He tour of Miami was nice. We saw the rich rich areas like Fischer Island and the poor areas like Little Haiti and other Latin neighborhoods. We even saw Versace's mansion where he was shot! We got to the church and Ashley and I had enough time to pray a rosary for our special intentions. The Holy Spirit was with us in the grotto. As we began he Glorious Mysteries, a cool breeze was blowing on us and swirling around the tree needles. The garden around Mary was lovely and the fountain was bubbling holy water. The breeze picked up as we prayed and it began to rain. At first they were little drops -- quite refreshing. It's been so long since we've seen, heard, smelled and felt rain. It was peaceful and lovely. It started to rain harder and by the fufu mystery, it was steady. I could tell that Ashley didn't want to stop either and we finished the rosary in the glorious rain. It was just amazing. We stood in the back of mass since we were all wet. Just a little taste of the glory of Our Lord. It was a special moment.
We are going back to MIA for our flight soon. We'll be on our way to Madrid tonight, and once we arrive Thursday morning, we get on yet another bus to Malaga. Longest travel of my life! We are going on 2-3 hours of plane sleep since I got up on Tuesday morning.
Prayers ascending for you all.

I realize that this was typed on your iPod, which probably autocorrected, but I must admit that "the fufu mystery" totally made me LOL.
