Residencial Do Alboi Aveiro

... have seen a group of people so pale in all their life. Wherever we go, we feel as though the papparazzi is watching. We are still having a nice time just relaxing. There is a beautiful 15 km wooden walkway along the ocean that we have been enjoying everyday. There is also a community pool with a playground that the kids have been taking advantage of. For the most part we are just ...

... hours in which my host in Porto, José Martins, and I struggled to meet each other. I would have a number of such instances as Satan was really attempting to destroy the success of this trip, but God always intervened. I observed the Sabbath on April 4 in the home of José Martins, who is a long-standing member, and his family, namely his wife, Rosa ...

It's to happen. We missed our train to Porto so we are waiting for the next one wich is at 6.17. That meas we will have to take a taxi to get to airport before 8 not to loose the plane. Hope that we won't have more things like that... Anyway, we are ready, we are packed leaving in 20 min.

... enough just to fit a car.

We then drove back west to Alcobaca. The Cistercian Monastery of Santa Maria was closed, but beautiful enough from the outside. Even at Batalha the Monastery was closed but the square around, was beautiful for a short rest stop. Tired by then we thought of dropping Fatima, but decided to drive up, as it was not far from our ...

... tänaseni näha mosaiikpõrandaid ning mitmete ehitiste vundamente. Osad nendest on nüüdseks saanud algse kuju, ehk siis vundament on originaal, kuid peale ehitatud osa on valgest kivist, et välja tuua kontrast kuipalju alustaladest on säilinud. Vanasti elati väga-väga suurejooneliselt, saime jälle kinnituse. Kindlasti tasub seal ära käia, sissepääs on kõigest 3€, mis sisaldab varemete ja muuseumi külastust.

... oli seal tõepoolest igal pool luuramas, hoolimata sellest, et oli pühapäev, linn totaalselt välja surnud ja poed suletud. Seetõttu polnudki seal muud teha kui käia ülikooli juures luusimas ja osta paar suveniiri. Ülikooli hooned on väga võimsad, nagu oleks Rooma aega ära eksinud. Kahjuks me sees ei saanud käia, aga juba väljast paistis kõik vägagi impressive. Kuna sattusime sinna palmipuude püha ajal, siis nägime juhuslikult pealt ka tseremooniat, mida sel puhul ...

... sajandit kahanes elanike arv 2/3 võrra; täna elab seal ca 56 500 inimest. 1808. a raius Barra kanal tagasi tee ookeanini ning Aveiro hakkas taas jalgu alla võtma. Peatusime seal vaid selleks, et jalgu sirutada ja päikest nautida; pildistasime žigulis istuvad meest, kes oli ilmselt oma autoga ühevanune; tegime kesklinnale tiiru peale ja peale paari jäätist jätkasime sõitu.

... Po obede na plazi pri ktorom sme skoro zamrzli sme sa s radostou vybrali na nasu dnesnu vyse 750km dlhu cestu napriec Spanielskom do Potrugalska. Tesili sme sa, ze za chladneho pocasia nam to skvelo pojde. Akonahle sme ale skocili do auta slnko zacalo poriadne piect a cez Spaniesku nahornu plosinu to bola naozaj horuca jazda. Na pomedzi Francuzska a Spanielska v krajine Baskov to ...

... duero river and Atlantic coast. We did some shopping and after dinner on the river we decide we felt like death was upon us and we'd better go to bed asap. No discotecas tonight! The next morning at about 1:30 pm we decided to come to life and have coffee down by the river. After taking a few pictures and getting out lives together, we proceeded across the bridge for some port wine tasting and museum touring. Port wine is a special wine ...

Hello...

I'm in Portugal now. Last I wrote was in Toledo, I think...I took a night train to Lisbon, where I stayed for one night. It's nice, as far as big cities go, but it's a big city. It's very diverse and the people are real laid back.

After that I went to Sintra, just west of Lisbon. It's a little town in the mountains. Lots of shade, green, and fresh air. I spent many more days there than I planned to. The first night I arrived ...
