Day 21 - Healing

“Walking is man’s best medicine.” –Hippocrates

I planned for a long walk today to Vitorino dos Piaes. But this cold / bug keeps rearing its ugly head. So I spent part of morning waiting for a tele-doc appointment. He prescribed antibiotics which I had to wait for at the Pharmacia. So I got a late start.

However I did make it to Vitorino dos Piaes, I just had to take a taxi the last few miles to get to my reserved room so it did not cancel

Now with all that said, it was a long day and I hope meds kick in quickly. I am staying tonight at a lovely farm, Casa Rural O Estabulo, along with 7 Germans and 2 Portuguese folks. They converted the stables into private rooms with baths. Very modern and pretty. I am attaching a video and you can hear all the frogs singing in the background.

The host made a communal dinner and we feasted on fresh salad from her garden, bread with local olive oil, pasta with chicken, verde vino, and crème brûlée for desert.

So I’m well fed and well medicated! Night all!Read more
