Albaferia, Portugal

The beach near old town



I went for a much needed pedicure today. The place across the street had pedicures for only $15 and so I just couldn't resist the 1 hour of me time.
Before


After



We went for a walk around town and found a market with these huge bunches of grapes. They were so very good.










The view from our apartment







We are still in Albiferia, and still having a very relaxing time. We spent the morning at the pool at our apartment. It is very hot here. We get up to a cool 27 derees every morning and go to sleep every night to a sweltering 30 degrees. Because we haven't had A/C for the last week we are slowly finding it easier to fall asleep even though we are really hot.







Yesterday we heard sirens all day and on our walk to supper saw on Portagees news that there had been a mud slide on the beach and 5 people had been killed and so the town is in shock. We thankfully were in our pool all morning and so we are safe.
