Wednesday, August 18, 2004

John and I went to Portalegre first thing in the morning to go to the internet cafe so that I can catch up on what was going on in the real world. We got there at around 9:40am only to discover that it didn't open until 10:30am. We went to a little cafe across the square to pass the time. When it finally opened, we spent about an hour so on the internet but didn't get much accomplished because their connection as about as slow as the library's. No such thing as high-speed internet in this part of the world, I guess.

Once we got back, had a quick lunch then Maria, Vanessa, the boys, and I went for a ride to Comenda to visit Maria's godparents. On the way back, we stopped in Nisa so that Maria and Vanessa could shop for some pottery. Took a minor detour into Spain to fill up the car with gas (.89 euros per liter as opposed to 1.07 euros per liter in Portugal).

A quiet evening.

Kevin relaxes in the morning.

Maria's mom.

All the boys get a drink at the fountain.

We all went for a walk around Sao Salvador before bed.
