Sevillanas

Finally, almost in the last day we managed to leave Algarve and go to Seville, Justyna for a long time had dreamt to go to this destination, I suppose her skills in dancing this type of music from Seville play a big role, She loves the Sevillanas and Flamenco in general . Unfortunately is something that I am not skilled, By the way I do not remember any dance where I could have a go, Legs is not my strongest part in my body. The trip is not to long, about 2.5 hours, The way back I was already very tired, Olivia slept after all the excitement. Straight when we arrived in Seville I had a punch in the tyre, So it did not started in the best way, but after it come better. We walked around, tried tapas. The heat was as I expected, 41 degrees :)

Olivia took a bath in the public fountain, The tourists that were passing near by took a pictures of her

View when we arrived
Often we find this aged trees, With a small effort we can find figures out of the trunk and branches, Of course I always built up some naked lady,but sometimes some animals
Justyna was looking for her brother

The roots are amazing


A star in the Seville streets
Tapas are great
Bye bye Seville

Festa da N.Sra da Rocha

As usual we woke up in the beach, Olivia could enjoy the last weekend in the beach with Daniel. We could stay for a while with Pedro, Vasco, Susana and Carminha and families. At lunch we had the visit of my cousins Julieta and Zeca, My cuisine Julieta was a revelation as a cook.

In the evening we went to a the celebration of N.Sra. da Rocha, It is a party that is part of my childhood, and N.Sra. da Rocha has been an inspiration for my mum and for me, It was great to comeback home and see so many familiar faces. My mum visits this shire every single day, it is therefore a place where she finds her peace, and last year my mum kept a candle on when I was in the hospital
Virgin Mary is going to the beach to bless the fishermen and their boats

Congratulations Julieta


I checked my post a year ago and I found out that I said, I hoped a year after I would be in much better condition and I could introduce the beaches to Olivia. All this has been possible. Thank you all, Women, Men, Gods, Animals, Nature, Inature. I am in love with you all.

My last friends Maria and her kids left today to London. Next will be us.

My sister Julieta had her birthday today, It was a lovely diner. She was very happy as all the family, We are all living a dream.

Shorter days

Even if the days are passing quick I have the the sensation that it would be difficult to have a better holidays than this ones, We been meeting a lot of friends, After last year all the friends become closer, and Rosalia and Vitor is the best example, When last Summer the clouds were above our heads, they did not forget us and sent us a lot of encouraging words and one picture of Praia de Albandeira, I will never forget. That picture I posted after and become an icon of this blog and feeding the dream of one day comeback there.
So today we could spend some time with them.

Meanwhile in the beach Olivia could play with Julia and Henrique. And us can chat with Vasco and the old Chora :)
