On our way to Balugaes

After a buffet breakfast, we left our hotel Rua da Mandalena in the city of Barcelos and started our walk to Quinta da Canceia in Balugaes. Along the way, we met a woman from Brazil. We walked together for about two hours. We were all getting hungry, so we stopped at the little place on the trail called "Rosa Cintilante." While I was ordering my food, I was surprised to hear Talking Heads on their radio. I knew I liked this place, lol!
Then we met up with 3 other walkers. We walked together for about 2 hours. Most of the path was cobblestone. It's just amazing. There must be hundreds and hundreds of miles in portugal of cobble stone roads. Michelle and I checked our fitbits and realized we walked 3 miles past our next destination.
One of the brazilian women called a taxi for us because she knows portuguese language and they were there in fifteen minutes.
In the meantime, there was an alberga close by that's very famous in germany and we were invited in while we waited. The name of the place was Lugar Do Corgo Casa Fernana. Fernanda is the name of the woman who runs the place. There were quite a few Walker's there. Laying on the grass sitting at the picnic tables, just enjoying the rest of the day and I heard our names called by the 2 brothers that we met at Rua da Mandalena. They jumped up and gave hugs all around. Like we were good old friends. Everyone we have met so far is nice and happy. There are no grumpies in the bunch. It's amazing. Tonight, we had a wonderful gourmet type. Dinner made by a beautiful young Brazilian woman of 21 years old. 3 course meal with dessert and three forks lol! Well Time to take a shower and hit the sack. We have a big Day ahead of us tomorrow.Read more
