The Circus Comes to Town

The Do Portugal Circus has been setting up for the last couple of days just a few steps from our condo. Something you would never see at home: tigers, panthers, even a leopard, camels, monkeys, hyenas to mention the few we saw as we went by on our morning walk.






My Birthday Dinner at Blake's (not Phil's!)


Nice table on the terrace.

'Happy Birthday' song time. They actually gave us a regular sized birthday cake - never seen that done before!

More Beach Time

Mike and Anna - beach next to the river, in front of The Grand Venetian

Gina and Marisa (Frank and Anna's cousins) and Mike (Frank and Anna's son)

Going thru a lot of books - have to get Stan a Kindle too!

Miscellaneous Sights

This little girl shared my birthday dinner prime rib.

We see these two every morning on our walk.

Waiting for the open air performance to start.

Sun setting in town.

Sunday on the Malecon - the busiest day of the week involving as many locals as tourists.


Cute little girl 'in' the Cheeky Monkey

Stan's Birthday

We celebrated his birthday over a few days - started off with lots of drinks and appies at The Cheeky Monkey on the Malecon

Next day - dinner and serenade at The Outback - somewhat of a Keg imitation restaurant.

Stan's Fishing Trip

Early morning and Stan and his two fishing partners were hoping for the Big One!


Mackerel was the order of the day - no marlin, no sailfish!

The Carolina is back in port.
