Evora
We have had a good walk around the town today and also along part of the old wall. Visited the Cathedral and its Museum which contained extremely interesting very old Roman and Medieval Bishop´s ritual garb, very old religious paintings, and artifacts and Catholic silver and gold pieces from the past. The signs and labels were all in Portugese but we could understand enough to know that the displays all dated from the 15th Century to the 18th Century.
Last night we ate at a restaurant which we will not revisit - "no cards, only cash" was the rather grumpy response when we tried to pay. The majority of menus for dinner at all restaurants seem to consist of only meat and potatoes with no other vegetables. The lamb is good, but a large quantity of meat with only potatoes is not particularly healthy or easy to digest. Strangely, in this region where we have passed millions of orange trees, they served orange cordial for breakast this morning!
Spaniards and Portugese are not tall, and in times gone by they were even shorter. Brian needs to watch his head when passing through every doorway both internal and external.
