Today we went to Evora to visit Maria's aunt, uncle, and cousins for the day. It was just the four of us. We had a very nice day in Evora. In the morning, we did some sightseeing, visiting the Chapel of Bones and the Temple of Diana, the ruins of an old Roman temple. After that, we went back to aunt and uncles house for lunch. After lunch, we went next door to her cousins house for the rest of the day. John and Duarte spent a "Yu-Gi-Oh" afternoon together, watching Yu-Gi-Oh videos (in Portuguese, of course) and dueling all afternoon (Duarte won every duel). Duarte gave John a bunch of cards, many of which were Portuguese, so John had an especially good day. In the afternoon, Maria and her cousin went shopping while me and the boys stayed behind.
Got back to Sao Salvador in the early evening, and just chilled for the rest of the day.

I have no idea what this sign means, but I really liked it. A lot.

The Chapel of Bones. There's a story behind this place. Ask Maria sometime.
Hanging around at the Chapel of Bones.
The inscription above the door loosely translates to something along the lines of "Our bones lie here awaiting your bones."
