When I started this morning I was not sure if I could walk a quarter of a mile. The tendon behind my knee felt about a half an inch shorter than usual (no knot). I limped; it hurt. Pain doesn't really make me cringe, but I have learned that there is a negative reaction somewhere; my body wants me to notice. After a half mile I could walk, after 5 miles I could go faster than 2 mph. At the end of the day I was at normal speed.
The weather was so refreshingly pleasant that everything looked picture worthy!
I am quitting after unsuccessfully trying for 20 minutes to load a photo. This tablet is toast.
(There are a lot of churchs)
I had made a reservation at Quinta dos Meireles. They said they would pick me up at the town square. The only frustration was trying to figure out where that was. I was picked up by the owner's daughter who drove me to see all the sights.the are taker at the Sra do Socorro even opened up the stairs (usually a once a year event) so I could get the view. If it really is a clear sky you can see the Atlantic Ocean from there.
The Quinta is an incredibly charming place. As are my hosts
Oh yes, I promised Bill the gps coordinates: N 040 42.232 W 08 27.480
