Portugal 8-12-07

Elder Barney explaining to Dad, on Monday, why we have to come back on Saturday.


Isn't that beautiful? This castle is on a little island in the middle of the River Teju (Tayjoo). They had to take a row boat to get to it.

Dad in the middle of Sisters Brady and Peters and Elders Hibbert and Bills at the castle.



















A fish aisle at one of the smaller stores. What a variety of fresh fish for sale, besides the salted, dried fish in the corner. It's too bad we are not real fish lovers.















Sisters Peters and Brady, and Elders Jackson and Flowers at the soup kitchen.



















Sisters Peters and Brady threatening to eat the little sardinhas, eyeballs and all!











Sister Peters, frying fish. I was glad to let her do it.

















Here we are, Sisters Biggs, Peters and Brady, cutting tomatoes for the salad...it was just tomatoes and onions...delicious.

Great report. Getting a Visa for Kentucky wasn't quite as hard as it sounds in Portugal. That castle looks cool. Was there a river around it when it was built or did that come around it later. I was just thinking how hard it must have been to move all the rocks accross the river to build it. - Daniel

Porter says that fish looks good. We like fish but when it's that fresh it must be even better.

Dr. Baily called and decided what to do with Camille. So give me a call. (On the real phone because "skype" is'nt working right now.)

Dad says he guesses the river was already around it, Daniel, but he's not sure, of course, because that was 900 years ago. That makes it even harder to contemplate moving all the stones, doesn't it? I know they had boats, so I guess they moved them by boat. The island itself doesn't look big enough to have had that many rocks and still be there, does it?
