Praia de Mira, including the beach, Barrinha, and campground.
-5°C this morning. And he insisted I on a Pokémon raid.
When you find a parking spot in Praia de Mira in August, you take it.
I’ve been uploading dashcam footage to Google Photos and letting it chew on it. It spits out these 90-second videos which accurately sum up a trip. Here’s August 1, 2018.

When I was in the Netherlands for a quick stopover, I flew my drone for a few seconds just to get a 🇳🇱 flag on my drone flight record 🙂 this is the photo from that flight.
Overview of Casqueira.
It is located in Figueira de Lorvão parish, Penacova municipality, Coimbra district, in central Portugal.
While we were in Portugal, an unlucky cat decided to start hanging out in our back yard. Earl forcibly evicted him today. And nearly lost an eye.
I didn’t overhear the whole conversation. I think it was in French and it was all about Coqs.

Spot the Canadian: goes into world famous Portuguese bookstore. Buys a donut book. 🍩 🇨🇦

We took Xavier to the hospital for his beach soccer injury.
It was a long wait. Maybe 90 minutes or 2 hours. An old guy asked if Xavier was my grandson. He also asked if my Canadian wife was much younger than me. Lol.
We saw the doctor (who was happy to get to try out her English on Xavier). And we had a couple of X-rays.
Luckily, nothing broken.
Total cost was €4. They would have billed directly if we were from Quebec. But apparently they didn’t have an agreement with Alberta. So I paid cash while trying to stifle a giggle. €4.
Xavier will be paying me back.
Also, feel free to follow Xavier on Instagram. He posts every 6 months or so.

Taking a break from our real estate and shopping mall tour of Central Portugal today, to take a tour of local health clinics.
Vacation goal: wake up early than the boys and capture the Pokémon gym across the street from us before they know what’s happening.
Maxi likes to boogie board, but only if there is someone taller than him around.

Listening to my cousin explain the plot to “Strange Brew” to my aunt in Portuguese. Good times!
Aveiro. Note the Pokémon players in the bottom left.
Look, I gotta go, yeah, I’m running outta change. There’s a lot of things, if I could I’d rearrange.

Time is a train, makes the future the past, leaves you in the station, your face pressed up against the glass.
Is it in fact unfair to criticize a formerly great artist for his latter day sins?
