Rain poured down from the skies as we greeted this day, in the vicinity of Vitoria, on the eastern coast of Brazil. By 8:00 am we were in the harbor, docked, and fifteen minutes later had boarded our bus, to take a tour of the city. Vitoria was founded in 1551 by the Portuguese, and has now a population of 300,000. We saw the old city with beautiful buildings, and many of the new beaches and parks created from land robbed from the ocean. Lovely sandy beaches! Then we approached one of the many high rocky promontories of the city, where the convent of Our Lady of the Boulder sits. Taken up near the top by smaller vans, we walked up the last part, and visited the convent, built in 1535, in this high place, at instances of a Spanish priest, Friar Pedro Palacios. He wanted it built up high, but the other ecclesiastical authorities wanted it low. Father Pedro had a painting of our lady of Happiness, and it disappeared. Three months later it appeared at the top of this promontory, and so the convent was built up high. In 1558 the first mass was given in it. Some of us, as we walked down to our waiting vans, saw some of the marmosets that have their abode near the convent. Here they are fed daily with bananas.
