Our big outing for the day was 12:30 p.m. mass – entirely in
Portugese! We headed up to Mother Church, which was only about a half mile from
our house. The church was rebuilt in 1776 over an older church and the kids
were amazed by all the intricate gold detail inside.
We also spent some time at the local park – yet another
destination about a 5 min walk from our house (we really need to thank the
Alkers for finding us such a great spot to rent this month!).
Just don’t take any tips from Luke on how to drink out of
the water fountain. Here the water shoots straight up with a lot of force. He
had just figured out how to turn it on as he was looking straight down on the
fountain. So yes… a big stream of water straight in his face! He wasn’t too
pleased.
A lazy afternoon – the girls read at the house while Jim
took the boys down to the swimming hole (the ‘cold one’). Andrew was on dish
duty after dinner – lucky kid! And then we wrapped up with the usual card games
and more reading time.
