PORTUGAL II
We had a marvelous day in Algarve. We were kids on bikes. With a group, we had a two and a half hour ride
on a nature tour. We rode on a trail behind the large dunes of the ocean. Our guide, Alex, was fun and informative. On the way we saw beautiful mansions, storks nesting and flying, two flamingos feeding in a marsh, a baby turtle and many, many other birds. It was sunny and the wind was with us at good measure. A golf ball whizzed over our heads. Golf courses abound! That poor golfer will never find his/her stray ball! The bike trail was fun, with pot holes full of water. Splashing through them was a kick! and steering around them was a challenge! The plant life amazes us. There is everything from cacti to pine trees. Huge agave plants! And...we came to a salt processing place and there were two huge mounds of salt. Our guide told us he takes salt from there and so a few of us found whatever we had to collect some of the salt and use it. Natural sea salt. Good. After a shower and a bit of lunch, we played a couple of rounds of mini golf. All of the spots were designed after putting greens of various famous gold courses. We are off to Costa del Sol for a one week stay. We should catch lots of sun there.
