Day 46, April 16.

Today Nuno (pronounced nu-nu) drove me to the gorgeous little city of Guimraes. Its castle from around the 1100s and the palace of the Dukes (if that’s what it’s called) would have been good enough, but the beautiful, old, preserved narrow streets and the entire atmosphere was truly wonderful. I loved it!

Then we went to Apulia to eat some freshly caught fish and took a nice walk on the beach and along a nice walkway to a point where river meets ocean.

Portugal has apparently spent a lot of money on its highway system, and now the country is in bad shape financially, unfortunately, because this is a beautiful country.

Nuno is trying to put together a Ph.D. dissertation combining music and the 3Ps, so we did a lot of talking about that.
