| Local fisherman hauling his net |
Yesterday morning, we all walked down to the waterfront to check
out the sights and see if we could catch the fisherbirds at work. Although Art
& Regis kept telling us about these amazing birds, we were beginning to
think they were making it all up … we’d yet to see them. We were in luck this
time, however, and they came to give us a demonstration of their skill. Sorry …
no pics. They’re just too fast!
Pete and I decided to walk along to the ‘real’ harbour where
the fishermen come in to unload their catch. We lucked in, as a large boat was
just coming into the harbour as we arrived. They must have had a good haul,
because the siren sounded for a fish auction. Immediatelly, a fleet of little
trucks came careening along the road to load up on their fish. It was quite the
sight!

| My Dourada |
One thing that we’re really enjoyed here in Portugal is the
fish. It’s taken us a bit of time to actually figure out what KIND of fish
we’re eating, but it’s all been good, so the point is moot.

| Art's Octopus dinner |
We’ve tried the local sardines, cod, the dourada (golden
bream), the sea bass, the swordfish, octopus, tuna, shrimp, cuttlefish and some
none of us could pronounce, let alone tell what they actually were!
