March 28 - Albufeira - Slow day


Yesterday we had a bit too much sun and I felt a bit sluggish today, so we didn't do much except try to stay in the shade as much as possible and drink plenty of water. That being said, it is now 9:45 and as I look at my fitbit, I have walked 21,000 steps or 13.6 km today, so not such a slow day after all

Tonight, I'm feeling better and tomorrow is supposed to be a bit cooler so we are thinking of going again to Gale to finish our geocaching series.

We also confirmed that the old chapel just across from us is the one that opens only once a year and tomorrow night at 9:30 there will be a procession leaving from there to go to another church. This chapel dates back to 1498. And to think that we will be able to watch this from our balcony. How lucky can we be? The men were getting everything ready this afternoon and said we could come in to look.


If you are interested, you can google ' Santa casa da misericordia de Albuferia ' and find out more. It is all in Portuguese but if you click on the big picture you can see pictures.  My first impressions were that it didn't remind me of Catholicism. It was so different than anything we had ever seen growing up back home. Lol.


We will know more tomorrow when we watch from our balcony probably with a glass of wine in hand.
