Day 3: Esposende to Antas

Simple Simon day! We walked ~6miles today to Antas Guest House. It has a beautiful, private backyard with a swimming pool, and we literally had it all to ourselves from 11am-3:30pm today. There were dove coo-ing, calling g to each other, and flying about all day. It was a lovely day of rest that we both really enjoyed.

Leaving our hostel this morning (first pic), the air was pretty heavy with smoke. Lots of wildfires all around (but no danger to us, just smoke). Still, very sad. Firefighters from 3 neighboring countries have been flown in to help.

The second couple of pics are of a cool art piece on our way out of town. Tony Gorman, I need you here to act as my historian and deliver the details in a concise manner! We passed a mural timeline yesterday with a lot of people laboring, and it included women doing g all the same manual work as the men. This sculpture captured that too (she's in the very front).

Took lots of pics along the short walk today, making it take longer than needed. Included is a pic of a little bit of the wildlife we saw along the way in the last pic. 😅Read more
