Fihol
You'll have to learn how to make these, Lori. They look yummy!

Ha ha
Sure. Very funny. Actually Nigel did google the recipe and things he could do it!

Loving the photos
Loving your blog and your pictures as always. I have to say though, the sunset is much more beautiful than the picture of the eels! I'm trying to get my kids to be more adventurous eaters and I'm using Russ as an example!

Those were some lovely photos and I loved the bit about the run but.... Where was the picture of the 1st place Marizan display? Was it not photo worthy? Where is the family beach shot? Or are you doing as the Europeans do & the photos need to be edited for internet reasons? Signed, just OK in Ontario...

Better
Dear Blogger, Did you get my comments from yesterday? Well, I feel slightly redeemed today seeing all those wonderful photos. I particularly like the one of Lori eating the "Dreams" - nice biting skills! I would have liked to see Nigels' head beside the fish to back up the written description. Keep trying. How much longer to we have? Also, I have heard no mention of running? Signed, needy Newcastlite.

Glad you are finally happy
We are here until Aug 6 so lots of blogging left. We are running almost every day but Nigel says it is not "blog-worthy"......the running is hot and not too interesting, just along our road and hoping no stray dogs catch us...

Disappointed in the lack of photos
As you can tell from my last comment, I was and still continue to be disappointed by the lack of visual aids to support the written content of this blog. While I am pleased you are seemingly enjoying yourself, I find myself dreaming of the action shots of old - remember the great action shots of old - the seagull attacking Nigel's sardine, the Tour de France wizzing

Let Russell Do The Food Ordering For Everyone From Now On !
Hi Sweet People.............I knew that you would enjoy Portugal........we've enjoyed your daily blogs and all the pics..........I've been tracking each one of your destinations on Google Earth with Street Views............the residential architecture, particularly in the older districts in Portugal is very interesting............it's obvious that a great many places in "new Portugal"are owned by outsiders and that there are many people with deep pockets who reside there both full and part time. I've been doing quite a bit of research on Portugal since your departure. I'm happy that the weather has been so nice ..........evidently Portugal receives a lot of rain / wet weather during our Winter months so you have chosen a good time of year to visit the country. Piper says Hi.........we're so happy that you are having a great time.........the sand sculptures were very impressive !.......lots of white homes with red roofs in Portugal and swimming pools.......how come you didn't purchase an eel or two at the market for supper ?...........guess what the three of us (including Scott) had for lunch today ?.......Portuguese sardines and toast !...........very tasty !...............Dad "C"

All that fish......
...is making my mouth water. Good for Russell choosing the all you can eat. I'll bet he loved the sea bream - one of my favourites. I also love sardines, squid etc. Maybe I was Portugese in a previous life. Have you had any paella yet?

This blog makes me wish I'd be on vacation with you all!!! Not faire, I have to work :-(
It looks like you are having fun. We are too, following you all through this blog. Well done!

Awesome sand sculptures!
I loved the saxman, Johnny Dep and Madagascar, but they are all wonderful.

Danger Seeker!
I guess Nigel must have taken that picture - it was too close to the edge for Lori! Wow - very steep!

Looks like paradise!
Portugal is as beautiful as I imagined. Hope you're having a wonderful time in the sun and sea - the pictures look awesome. What a small world finding a boat tour operator from Ajax!!! Wish we were there!

Mini cave.

I was wondering if he was related to or knew Debbie Santos \'s father .........he was from Portugal and lived in south Ajax............what a coincidence....................really enjoying the blogs thanks

Santos
Apparently Santos is like Smith...I did ask and he laughed and said he was not related and did not know of the family.

Mural
I can't believe that mural has a picture of a kid that looks just like Russell in it. Amazing!

win the prize
I would guess it is a clementine. It seems to have originated in Algeria. It is now grown in Portugal, Spain, California, etc.

flower identification

Beautiful scenery
Looks lovely with beautiful blue skies. I love those Portugese egg tarts with the brulee top! I'll bet you're loving the warm weather - not quite like Scotland is it? :)
20th July 2013

Tarts etc
Yes the tarts are awesome. It is VERY differrent to Scotland. We don't really have to check the weather to plan our days. It is always sunny and warm. But not humid which makes Nigel very happy. Thnaks for your messages!
