Yesterday & Today

So very sorry about no blog yesterday, but by the time we returned from our tour to Obidos, the medieval castle, we had to change and go to our dinner and wine tasting at the Colvados Winery and didn't get back to the hotel until after 11pm! 

Anyway, Obidos was so great!  Medieval castle ruins, a quaint, picturesque town, wonderful little pasty, wine, and tile shops--just a wonderful time.  Here are some pictures of Obidos.

On the road to Obidos--was really impressed with the winds farms--they were everwhere!  US take a lesson from the Portuguese!




We arrive at Obidos, walking up to the entrance.
Me knocking at the front door.
Beautiful tile at the entrance to the village.

Does this look great or what?

Baby Brother, Steve!
Sweet alleyways...


So beautiful...
The Church at the square...
Shops...
OMG! The wisteria--even Steve was impressed!

A Kodak moment--what can I say?
The usual suspects---Steve and John on the steps to the castle wall.

Standing on the Castle Wall (narrow,windy and scary)!

My personal bodyguard!!!
Lunch inside the castle--did I mention that it's 13th century?

Signing off for now.  We had a big day today and will have to post about it tomorrow.  To all a good night.
- Deb and Steve

  1. Oh I love, the wisteria, and your body guard what can I say, except it reminds me of a movie sceen! LOL
    I know you are having a great time and can not wait to pick you up from the airport and hear all about the wonderful food and time you and Steve had. It is so busy, doing all you want and getting back to the evening events, breathe, it is always the same with us when we go on our trips.
