I had to show you one of my favourite trips of the holidays...to the Convento de Cristo in Tomar. Surprisingly (because part of my family doesn't live very far), I had never visited this UNESCO World Heritage Site. I loved it! The "Manuelina" arquitecture, the "little angels", the tiles and, of course, Portugal's most famous window :) It was a nice afternoon!...

Coimbra
Nós fomos a Coimbra num dia de chuva, de comboio, para variar. Andámos muito (muito mesmo) e vimos quase tudo...continua muito bonita, tal como eu me lembrava :)
We went to Coimbra on a rainy day by train, for a change. We walked a lot (really) and saw almost everything...it's still very pretty, just as I remembered :)
Óbidos
Já alguma vez vos disse que eu adoro História e que a minha época preferida é a Medieval? Sim, é verdade...Eu adoro tudo o que é Medieval! Fiquei um bocadinho triste por não poder ter ido ao Festival Medieval de Óbidos em Julho, mas eu queria mostrar esta vila ao Thomas de qualquer maneira (eu já a visitei várias vezes) porque é muito bonita. A seguir gostava de ir a Carcassonne em França (bom, eu quero ir a Carcassonne desde que li uma reportagem numa revista de viagens há 12 anos)...talvez para o ano que vem ;)
Did I ever told you that I love History and that my favourite time in History is the Medieval time? Yes, it's true...I love it! I was a bit sad because I missed the Medieval Festival in Óbidos in July, but I wanted to show it to Thomas anyway (I have been here a few times) because it's beautiful. I would like to go to Carcassonne in France next (well, since I saw it in a travel magazine 12 years ago)...maybe next year ;)

A passear em Porto Côvo
Two weeks ago I was visiting (the portuguese region of) Alentejo, enjoying the blue sky, the sea water, the company of my family (the cute guy on the picture is my "little" brother :)) and the magnificent landscapes. It was time to rest...
Eu adoro esta parte do país, com a qual tenho fortes laços (parte da minha família é do Alentejo e eu vivi lá em três sítios diferentes, incluindo os 4 anos da Universidade passados na magnífica cidade de Évora). Vim, por isso, matar saudades do sol (que nesta região brilha muito durante todo o ano) a Porto Côvo.
I love this part of the country, which I have a strong bond with (part of my family is from Alentejo and I lived in 3 different places in this region, including my 4 college years spent in the magnificent city of Évora). I came to "visit" the sun (which shines a lot here all year long) in Porto Côvo.

The holidays...
As férias passaram tão depressa...mas deu para ver amigos, passar tempo em família (incluindo o casamento do ano ;)), passear por novos e velhos lugares e ir às compras. Agora estamos de volta à chuva!!
The holidays went by so fast...but we got to see friends, spend time with the family (including the wedding of the year ;)), discovering new and old places and to go shopping. Now we're back to the rain!!
