Sunday Afternoon Stroll

Last week we had a minster from the States visiting. He was here on a vision trip to see how his church back in States might come and partner with us in Porto. Please pray for this partnership.  It was a great trip, but we have kept him pretty busy, so Sunday afternoon we decided to get out an stroll around the city. Here are some of my favorite pics from the afternoon.



Interesting Metro Exibit

Yesterday as we entered the Metro, we noticed a very interesting exibit.

There were various images of Chirst constucted from all sorts of materials.

ROCK BAND

Thanks  to some gracious friends, our kids now have a drum set to go with their Wii Guitar Hero.  (I think they actually just did not want the extra noise in their house :)   I thought I'd share a few pictures with you.  The look on Ethan's face is priceless.  Thanks G family.  They are really enjoying themselves.

As I was signing a note for Ethan tonight I realized that today is October 10, 2010 (10-10-10).  That doesn't happen often so I thought it deserved a special blog post.

10 THINGS THAT I LOVE ABOUT PORTUGAL

1. Pedestrians always have the right away at the a crosswalk (I only like this when I am the pedestrian.  It can be a pain if you are the driver.)

2. The beach is never more than a few hours away, but usually only a few minutes away.

3. Baba De Camelo (you will have to ask me about this one:)

4. There is a cafe on every corner (and usually 3 or 4).

5. Using the Metro is so much easier than driving.

6. Once they discover we are Americans, the Portuguese love to practice their English with us.

7. Everything is old and has a story.

10. The Portuguese people
