Viva La Vita

We had some morning rain, but from 11:15am onward, it was a gorgeous and windy day.We woke up to a rainbow. It was beautiful and for a while there was a reflection where it appeared as 2 rainbows.

We walked the western half of the Alvor boardwalk today. We walked 3.81 miles on the boardwalk plus a few miles in the city. We saw windmills, kite boarders, and a lot of boats. We had a late lunch at Casa da Mare located on the Alvor waterfront. Mary enjoyed Sardinha Pate and a Monk fish shish kabob. I (not a seafood fan) had a grilled steak with peppercorns, mixed veggies and a salad. We both enjoyed our meals. And lastly we had some pistachio gelato…YUM.

Last but not least, we also stopped at our favorite local small market. Purchased 4 Pastel de Nata. Per our friend Elise, they are delicious. We plan to have them with Portuguese coffee tomorrow morning.

We are hoping all the miles we walked today has offset the meal we had out.
