Aveiro the Venice of Portugal

---

Aveiro, what a city.
After our boat tour we walked around the back street. I had been here years before, but this time I was seeing Aveiro throw Kevin's eye's so every thing was new. We walked down a small street
and found I would say a fancy restaurant. They had a tourist menu which includes soup,entree that comes with rice potatoes,salad and what ever meat you want. Kevin had grilled steak with fried egg (portuguese eat eggs with almost every thing) rice, home made fries (no pre- frozen here) and salad plus wine, coffee and a dessert for 12 euros not bad right. And we got to enjoy this under on a very sunny afternoon.

After lunch we went to the fish market which was constructed by non-other then Eiffel, yes the same one as the tower in Paris. This just shows you how Aveiro was in it's day of glory was a hub for the rich and famous.
The Art Nouveau building are wonderful even the kid's where impressed.
After all this we headed to the supermarket to look for ingredients so Kevin could create his masterpiece for dinner.
We took the train back to Mogofores. I think after Porto train station; Aveiro, for a smaller station comes in at #2. The tiles depict every day life from the early 20Th century in the traditional blue and white colours.
This was a great city to visit.
