"Portugese maps are not quite precise."

Friday, October 1

Quote for the day: “Portuguese maps are not quite precise.” Fellow lost wanderer in Evora.

Breakfast and lunch have settled into a familiar pattern which no longer bears repeating. Once again, Pam improved on dinner (how can it continue to get better!!) salmon, potatoes, a great soup followed by delectable ice cream.

Tutu and Ann 2. are working in a school that Carlos labels a recycling school. It is one of the tech schools for tourism and environmentalism. Carol and Babs play against each other: Midwest north (MN) vs southeast (FL) which resulted in great interaction, generating questions. They have found the school could use sports teams. Leonard was playing sports charades and found himself demonstrating wrestling with a young Ukranian.

We find a number of students from different countries. Romanians seem to be in many classes. Brenda P. and Ann encountered two Romanians in one class; one was a good student. In one class Bryan and Ann found Spanish, German, Romanian, and Dutch students.

Brenda C.’s back has improved enough to walk to school. Brenda P and Ann toured museums with one of their teachers.

There will be 7 going to Evora on Saturday; 7 on Sunday to several small towns in a van provided by the municipality. Kudos to Carol and Pam for arranging those excursions.
