Life Eaters

We drove to “Quinta das Hortencias”, another little farm-stay about 45 minutes from the airport for our last night.

This place was also really nice. The host didn’t speak much English, and pretty much disappeared after letting us into our house, but the grounds and facilities were great. They had two swimming pools (a little chilly, but swimmable), chickens, ducks, goats, pigs, birds, peacocks, doves, turkeys and turtles. It’s too bad we only had one night because Sawyer would have lived a little more time with the animals.

We ate out for our last traditional Portuguese dinner, grilled piri piri chicken, grilled fish and stone soup. (Okay, I ate some of the chicken. These people really know how to handle a grill!)
