When I am traveling, out on the road, and the busyness and run around of travel gets too much. When I find myself tired and in need of a rest. When I need to get away from the crowds and I pass a church that is open, from my experience most are open, I like to go inside and just sit quietly by myself. To meditate, regroup and come back to myself. I can then leave feeling refreshed.

This church is in Sete Ciades, on the island of São Miguel in the Açores.
