eleventh day in Portugal











I got up early to shower this morning. We then went to go visit another castle. We had to climb stairs but the last flight of stairs was like a fairytale because they seemed like a zigzag way, like they were broken. It’s hard to explain. Then at the top there was a little hole to get through. We had to lean down, like if you wanted to go trough a slide or something. I felt to fairytale land! Then we go out to look for water. We found a store and I got some souvenirs for me and 2 for friends. I want to get something different for everybody! The temperature was 40 today. I have never drunk so much water in my life! All I can say is: Hot, Hot, Hot, Water, Water, Water. We went to go see a church but a couple of minutes. We went over this bridge that was built a long time ago and we crossed. On the other side we found a beautiful garden where I got myself wet with the fountain because I was incredibly hot! I saw a sunflower in that garden! There was a room where they showed us how the people used to make wine.
We finished by visiting the fortified town in Calminha. After we headed to Carlos’s aunt and uncle house since we are sleeping there. To get there we took a high way in Spain! So I was in Spain and in Portugal today! If you were a really good thrower than you would be able to throw a rock from Portugal to Spain, over the water.
We are staying at their house. It is nice. The bed is to hard though.
