History, beautiful castles and cathedrals, nice food, some rain and sun – we got it all during Thursday. The bus took us in the morning, both students and teachers, and we went for a whole day trip to the surroundings of Forave. At first, we visited Guimarãe, the city where Portugal was born. Then we travelled to Braga and had some walking and lunch. At the afternoon, the bus drove us up to the mountains next to Braga. Great views, sunshine and fresh air! Last stop before getting the stdents back to the school and the teachers to a well-deserved dinner was made in Ponte de Lima. There we enjoyed of the charming little town where the river Cheia passed the city and left the centrum on the other side and a beautiful garden on the other. Now we finally got a real sunshine! ☺ The evening was completed with a marvellous dinner at Josés home. What a variety of dishes… Just perfect!
Once again, the day was filled with laugh and smiles, everybody enjoyed the tour and the hospitality and kindness of our Portuguese friends. Well, some of them have quite a strange jokes but the more days we spend here, more we understand them! So beware, we might not be as blue-eyed as we appear, at least not anymore… Oh and can you believe, the Portuguese guys learned how to pronounce ”sähköpääkeskus”, ”hässäkkä” and other weird Finnish words! Congrats!
