May 12 Condeixa a Nova to Coimbra
So far only a sprinkle or two.
After a breakfast of 2 small dried slices of a baguette I strolled through Condeixa.

 In the hotel lobby there was a man rapidly painting an intricate design on a dish.

After all the rain

The first patch of blue was startling.
I came to Coimbra searching for my hotel which turned out to be about a mile out on the other side of town. I left my baçkpack in the room (somehow a fitness room didn't seem appeaĺing) and walked back to town. My first task was to visit Portugal dos Pequintos, a museum for children that I remembered going to on my last visit here in 1989. Of course, my memory had me in the right direction but one street off, so I walked back and forth for another 2 miles or so. I hadn't remembered that it covered all of the Portuguese navigational feats as well as their discoveries (conquests).

Then I went up the hill to see all the sights, mostly churches with the new cathedral at the very highest.

Now I am getting hungry. Back to the old town. Ì wonder what I dare to try.
