A wonderful and impromptu night at the (Israel Modesto's) circus in Ansiao, that was thoroughly enjoyed by all.

A bit of circus-based vocabulary for you, and the good news that it was animal-free, genuinely-thrilling and a great way to immerse ourselves in language and culture.

In our minds, we can still recall the roar of the grease-paint and the smell of the crowd!

What was going to be a brief guide to bureaucracy, with a visit to our local ‘Junta Freguesia’, turned into a stunning day out in Dornes.

A place of historical interest and natural beauty, Dornes is a must-visit destination, and will be well featured on our photo page too.

Very random vocabulary selection contained herein and another blast of ‘Sao Martinho’ syndrome...

Wow, it's been a year! A quick, though slightly extended, round-up from the whole tour team after an anniversary meal at a local restaurant, including a customary bit of vocabulary and things that make you go: "Yum!"

As well as Mrs M's insight, we're also blessed by the thoughts of Digby, 6, and Minnie, 2.
