As if yesterday’s castle at Monsarez was not enough…
As if yesterday’s castle at Monsarez wasn’t a spectacular enough experience, today we are going to Borba and we will visit another castle for lunch.
Tromps in vineyards. Olive oil tastings. Castles for lunch. Dinners at the best restaurants in Portugal. Views of a Roman Aquaduct from my bathtub as I soak and dream and from my bed as I write for you…
I am definitely enjoying this. Each day is full of so many new experiences, new foods, wines to swirl and discover its nuances. The land here is so beautiful, so full of rich stories, full of personable people I am thrilled to know.
By now, halfway through my trip, I have hundreds of photos, all of which I want to share. Today, I am going to try to shoot some video. In time, I guess, in time, I trust, I will get some of them out from my imagination and out into cyberspace to share with you.
For example, this photo is of the bullfight ring at the castle at Monsarez. In the distance, you can see the church. In the middle distance sits Delfim Costa of Enoforum Wines which is hosting my trip. Delfim has been an exquisite and knowledgeable host, and no question goes unanswered and unappreciated. For anybody who knows me, that’s saying a lot!
Right now, it’s breakfast, a shower, and a new day of adventures. Each day has been so full of unexpected pleasures. I so look forward to sharing more of them with you soon.
