Title: 3 Day Trips: Nazaré, Tile Museum, and Conimbriga

Summary of Episode

In this episode, we take a few day trips. First we went tothe lovely Nazaré to see the big waves and the beautiful beaches. We took Sheila on the first trip and visited our American friends Filomena and Rick the second trip.

If you like visiting ancient ruins (Roman one’s anyway) The Ruins of Conimbriga would be a lovely day trip from Coimbra. It took us about an hour to get there but it is just outside of the the city. The ruins boast amazing baths, a forum, many incredible mosaics, and the House of fountains is a marvel on its own.

Last, we check out the Museu do Azulejo (tile museum) in Lisbon. The tiles are a work of art and are seen all over Portugal as decorations and storytelling. The best is the large mosaic of the city of Lisbon before the earthquake of 1755.

All of these trips were at the request of guests we had over the holidays, but they are also great tourist spots. Conimbriga is a different sort of taste for tourism because Roman ruins sometimes look the same.

**a few corrections–obviously, Shelley (me) does not know how to convert celsius to fahrenheit and 17 is about mid 60’s. The tile we spoke about is NOT 115 inches, but 115 cm high. Conversions are not our thing.
