I may have mentioned this before, but when I was in the Navy attending sonar school in San Diego I went off base looking for a church to attend and found a really nice one in a quiet neighborhood not that far from the base. I rolled up on my motorcycle and went into Mass and wondered why I was getting a lot of quizzical looks. Turns out the Mass was in Portugese! It must have been a church for the Portugese immigrants to that area from the 1700's. The people there were very friendly and I kept going there until I was assigned to my ship some months later. |
