    The streets of Obidos were not all that crowded as we walked along, despite the several large tour busses that were waiting empty in the town parking lot outside the walls.

    There were lots of small craft stores open for business, with their wares artfully arranged to entice their customers inside. We had a look inside a few of these and also came across a very modern looking glass-fronted building on one of the main streets.

    This turned out to be a free internet cafe, so we made a short stop there to check up on our emails!

    What To Buy: The decorative style of the windows above the shop entrance are typical for the architecture in this part of Portugal.

    Pottery Store: A Wide Selection

  • Name of Shop: Pottery Store

    This was the first time in some days that my wife had been able to get me slowed down long enough to enjoy some browsing. In this particular little shop (I cannot rememer its name), she enjoyed the style of the plates and some small decorative tiles - azulejos.

    We ended up buying a few of each for about E20 total, hoping that we could get them back to Canada in one piece (we did!).

     Another gem I missed I guess while on our trip last summer. Good to hear you didn't miss the windmill shot and didn't have to elbow any French out of your way to do so! Very cool hotel but alas too rich for my blood too.

     The beautiful Moorish architecture, bougainvilla and aquaduct make this a very inviting destination. If you like Bougainvilla- India has THE most beautiful I have ever seen. They even grow wild. Vivid colours too.

     I was just thinking about those tiles that we didn't buy in Portugal and wishing we had now that we are finally renovating our kitchen! Lovely page Glenn!

     Obidos looks so picturesque in your photos. I can't wait to see it (and other places in Portugal) by myself.
