Happy Portugal Day

Flower day

In Braga

Stopping to smell the roses 

 

Costa Nova

Costa Nova

Cute little beach houses 

That are all painted and tiled 

In red, white, blue, yellow and green 

With cobblestone fish pathways

I couldn’t decide which one was my favorite 

Until I saw the light blue periwinkle one 

So I took a photo in front of it 

Gelato of the day

Walking for miles along the boardwalk

With the sound of the ocean 

The smell of the salt water

The white sand beaches

The wind in my hair 

The spray of the waves

The seashells 

Wind surfers

Lunch afterwards 

 

Time Traveler

Tomar 

Was like going in a time portal

Traveling back in time 

To the 11th century 

When the Kinghts Templar built this castle

To contain all their wealth and treasurers they had accumulated 

As Knights

And of course gelato

After visiting the sanctuary 

 

On the Beach

My first steps on the beach

After breaking my leg last year 

What a sweet feeling

With the sand between my toes and the water on my feet 

And the sun on my face 

A peach iced tea in my hand 

The sound of the waves 

And the seagulls 

Also went to see the village 

Overlooking Nazare

Listening to a guitar playing I have a dream

Artists made birds

Marble surfboards

White House’s with red tile roofs

A light for the world 

I climbed up to the top of the lighthouse on the cliff to see the view and to feel alive

Home of the 100 foot wave

Taste of gelato

And the sound of church bells
