Anjali Photo From Portugal - 2

Photo by Anjali

Anjali and family are in Evora, a picturesque town, with its Roman temple of Diana.

Anjali spotted the ducks, venturing out of the shadows, as well as the reflection in the pond.

The stones look old. It’s Portugal.

When Laura was covering the great Algarve soccer tournament two years ago, she sent us daily photos of the specialty at her restaurant:

O Rei dos Frangos – The King of the Chickens, printed on every plate.

Today she sent us a photo of the main course in an outdoor cafe in Evora.

Cada um na sua, as they say in Portuguese.
To each his own.

Doesn't look kosher to me.

Dear Rabbi: Duly noted. I am going to see what I can do about equal time.
We did have a recent high-school gathering with attention to kashrut rules. 1-out-of-2.
best, George

Wonderful photos!

We have a friend who, with her daughter, hiked the Camino Portuguese last year. She lost all her toe nails but made it to the end with many tails of nature scenes and fellow pilgrims. I suspect there may be many interesting photo ops in that trek if paths cross.

"Tales". I blame iPhone for not correcting, but even worsening, my typos!

In case anyone is unsure, those brownish lumps are garlic, (mouth-watering sounds deleted.)

PS. Brian, I blame Steve Jobs, Bill Gates and the "alt. Spelling crowd."

QUOTES
(Why We Still Hunker)
“….this is really an old person’s disease now. That was true at the beginning of the outbreak, but it’s becoming even more true now. It’s quite possible that we’ll see increasing relative vulnerability among the old, which is to say people who are in middle age are going to feel pretty safe living a totally normal life. But people of their parents’ generation may not ever. That’s because they have a much harder time building up immunity, which means they lose the benefits of the vaccines and previous exposure much more quickly.

Should Donald Trump Be Prosecuted?
Rep. Liz Cheney, on ABC TV:
“Ultimately, the Justice Department will decide that. I think we may well as a committee have a view on that and if you just think about it from the perspective of what kind of man knows that a mob is armed and sends the mob to attack the Capitol and further incites that mob when his own vice president is under threat, when the Congress is under threat. It's just -- it’s very chilling and I think certainly we will, you know, continue to present to the American people what we found.”
