CDS Portuguese - Today Was...

Today was a day of warm blue skies. Today was a day of interesting roads winding high up into the hills. Today was a day of following water to it’s source. Today was a day of wrestling puppies and good goats. Today was a day of sunshine. Today was a day of a good Sunday dinner Portuguese style.

The Rio Lima - Reflections

If I understand things right, the Romans used to hang out in this valley, and so they out up some statues to commemorate them.

Creekside Trail

Droplets on a Flower.

The Joy of Puppies!

It’s 930 am. Time for a Portuguese snack of Cod Fish Cakes, Pastel De Nata, and an Imperial Sized Beer.

And then.. Round Two of Puppy Wrestling!

These two tiny dogs were so cute! They were the absolute delight of the five old men that frequent this cafe. Very entertaining.

Eucalyptus Seed Sporing

Overhead Grape Vines. I would love to see these in season.

“You Kids Behave!”

We had baby goats come up to the fence! Linda about died of happiness today.

The grass here is so thick and lush, that even I thought about eating it! This is a grass eaters heaven.

Sunday is the best day to eat out in Portugal. Every restaurant is ready and expecting the masses to come eat.

As a pilgrim, this definitely works out in our favor. We had a delicious meal of soup, bread and butter, breaded pork steak and omelette with fries and rice. We had a pitcher of vino verde (our favorite) and finished with coffee and pudding. We shared everything, and were very satisfied.
