 For lunch we passed on the Mc Bifanas and got right to the meat of this trip, FISH. Jack to us to a great spot for sardines and wine.



 My Grandfather worked on this pier a long time ago. The cement jax have been added over the years and are huge.

 Across the way is the first pier we started the day on.

 Quick drive to Jacks to check on stuff. Kiwi fruit not ripe yet grapes almost there.
 Prickly Pear are ready to go. Broke out the gloves fired up the burner to sing thorns off and ate.

 Jack brought us to his second home, Santa Cruz. First of the many great views we would see on this trip.

9-10-12 Portugal

 Judy and I landed in Portugal today to meet Mom for a two week vacation.

 It wasn't long before we dragged Judy out for a tour of the town.



 Here's a little bread porn if you ever had fresh chorizo bread. This was baked fresh every morning and 430 in the afternoon. This is perfection on a plate.

 Day one in the books and we didn't know it yet but we would only have one days rest at Moms. We had three great tour guides.
