The last weekend in May for the last 53 years, the Fisherman's Festival is held in Quarteira. WHAT FUN! I went to the event spot, but everyone said you need to get to the beach, as that is where the fishermen bring the fish! Many took hold of the ropes to haul in the nets, young and old!
I got so close, the waves came in and got me wet to my pockets! LOL Fun to see everyone get so excited for the fishermen, especially the squeals of the kiddos!
Then went to the venue a few blocks away, and there were many booths of food available for purchase. There was also live music, which was really nice. Will need to practice up on my salsa!
So glad I went today, it was the Portuguese tradition that should be experienced!
Went to the fish market this morning and saw all kinds of fish I had never seen, including baby sharks. Didn't know people ate shark meat. (This is where I say - I was born in Nebraska and lived in Colorado since I was 5...fish wasn't popular growing up!) There was one fish especially "cute", it was quite red. I did not buy any, as I am moving into my apartment in a couple of days, and don't want to have to pack it.
It was 80 degrees, only 45% humidity, but got very warm standing in the sun for 1.5 hours. SO fun!
OK, now for some funnies, and found some REALLY good ones this week!
This would be Lucy, and get nervous when she gets up on the chair looking out over the 4th floor balcony!
I wish that dry little elf would leave my phone alone!
Happy Sunday from far away! Just remember to do something fun and/or relaxing!
