Got up early to get in 18 holes in the morning. Got to the course at around 8:35am only to discover that the course didn't open until 9:00am (go figure!). It was a beautiful morning for golf, a little on the cool side with a slight breeze. I decided to rent a buggy becasue I didn't want to deal with the hills on the back nine, and because Maria planned to be on the road by about 12:30pm. After a shaky start, I played very well, shooting a 49/46 for a 95 for the day. I think I successfully put my 59 from Sunday behind me.
I got back home at around 12:15pm and helped get the kids dressed so that we could take Maria's mother to Campo Maior, which is her hometown. She (mother) wanted to go to the cemetery to make arrangements to get a new marker for her parents grave. Once we got to Campo Maior, we picked up her cousin so that she could come to the cemetery with us. Once we got there, at around 2:30pm, we found that it was closed for siesta and that we would have to wait until it reopened at 3:00pm. A lot of waiting for things to open on this day. We were there until 4:30pm or so. Stopped at a couple of places in Campo Maior after we left the cemetery so that mother could say hi to some cousins.
Once we got back to Sao Salvador, at around 7:00pm, just laid low and took the boys for a walk before getting them, and us, to bed.

Campo Maior, and waiting for the cemetery to open.

A view of Marvao from Sao Salvador.
In the evening we took a walk down to Ammaia, the old Roman city that's been rediscovered and is being excavated in Sao Salvador.
