Evora

Week 2 of our Easter break started out with a great trip to Evora with our language teacher.  This is a city about an hour from our house and it was wonderful!  The city is completely surrounded by it's original city wall and is full of well preserved history.  Over the centuries this city has been inhabited by both the Romans and Moors and there are many building and artifacts left behind.  There is a Roman temple to Diana, a museum with artifacts dating back to the 1st and 2nd century century BC, ancient churches, etc.

Tomar, Portugal

A few days ago we headed out on another field trip. This time it was to an old monestary about an hour away. I think this was one of my favorites. It had been left more untouched than most and therefore was showing it's age. This made for some great pictures. I've been experimenting with black & white, so check them out.

The Biggest Market Ever

Last week we went with our language teacher to a huge market. There were specific areas for fish, meat, bread, fruits & veggies, household items, tools, live animals, clothing, and much more.



Fish, Fish and more Fish - The Portuguese love their fish!


There is just something wrong with this picture. In the foreground is ladies underwear and behind is the fruit market - and all side by side?!?!



Knives and tools - We laughed because directly across from this area were many tables of women's shoes. Atleast they know how to market some things. Women's shoes and men's tools all in the same location.
