Nothing to Say!

This perspective caught my eye today and it’s the first time I realized that these are stylized lamps with a flame. I love the Pousada.

This is as tiny as a mouse’s eye! Growing out of a crack in the wall.

I love it when the osteospernums start to bloom.

The center reminds me of licorice candy we used to get a Christmas time. I would let them melt in my mouth to make the experience last!

Osteospernums

Bitoque is a traditional Portuguese dish, which consists of a lean fried or grilled steak or pork, that is usually accompanied by fries, rice, various salads and topped with an egg. This recipe has its origin in Beira’s, Portugal.

An almond bloom and an almond bud……..sigh!! So lovely.

Early morning and the Pousada tower with Faro and the sea off in the distance.

A few of last years almonds clinging to the tree as the new flowers burst.

The nespera (loquats) are starting to form……won’t be long.

Your photos are exquisite today. The sky is so blue! I hope our flowers start to bloom when you boys return. Best of luck with your travels. Not sure there is a right thing to be doing right now. We can only try our best. I will keep you in my thoughts as you make your way home love Susan

    Yes got here an hour ago. Star Inn about 600m from airport. VERY fast ride by taxi to get here as no traffic. Took only about 5 min from Orient. Nice spot. Restaurant open. Buffet breakfast even starts at 5AM. Lots of Canadians here. Very good wireless.
