I'm pretty exhausted even though we had a great walk today that wasn't that far. I think I am still recovering from this head cold. Naps after showers coming pretty easily. Then we are so hungry so we have to venture out to see what's where. All John wants is grilled chicken. We settle on a little place on a corner that we couldn't find the door in. We circled the place and we're about to enter through the kitchen when one of the cooks came out smiling and led us to the front door. Dumb tourists.
I had a salad with tuna and lots of other stuff while John ordered and received one of the tastier chicken dishes yet. Typically all dishes come with chips ( fries) and this chicken came with fried potato slices and pineapple (abacaxi) and some sort of savory brown sauce. All washed down with a cool glass of vinho branco. Nice!
We kept sneaking quickly by the front desk guy whose weird rule was to leave the key and then collect it when we returned. We couldn't figure out the reasoning so we just ignored it like true foreigners.
We went to the well stocked grocery in town and got a bottle of vinho Tinto to enjoy on the beach at sunset. My phone was charging so those pictures are on my camera. Nice to be on the ocean again. Lots of people out and about in this little resort town that was once an ugly industrial sea port. The municipality engaged some architectural students to create plans to re-gentrify the area and this was the end result!
A bit homesick looking across that big water and knowing my loved ones are on the other side. I am missing them.
