This was to be a rest day. After a two hour drive there, and then a four hour drive home, due to the traffic, we were more tired than when we left. But it was a beautiful little town.

This would be an excursion like no other. First thing, we had to dress the part, what could it possbily be for?

We spent the morning visiting the Souks and doing a little shopping. Fascinating place with so much to see.

Step one, get a lay of the land, step two, visit the market place, step trhee, drop into bed for the night and be ready for the next day.

Welcome to Morocco. This is a picture of the center square early in the morning before everything opens up. This country stays up late and doesn't start their day until mid-morning so it was nice to get out early and see some of the surroundings without the hoards of people. At the end of our stay, we learned it was holiday week and no school.

Surprise… Keith decided to upgrade our accommodations this week for my birthday. The BoaVista/Bela Colina Village Golf and Country Club. Wow, it is beautiful and we have an actual apartment. Luxury for sure! I know, I am spoiled and love my partner in life very much!

The whole purpose for visiting Evora was to see the castle village ‘Monsaraz’ on the hill, and to tour a castle village in the city center. Monsaraz was an easy hour drive out of town and both the drive and the destination were the highlight of the trip so far.

Another beautiful city by the sea with plenty of tiles pictures to show it off.

A beautiful country by the sea. Flying in provided an amazing view of all the orange roof tops. It reminds us a little of Italy and Mexico. Narrow cobblestone streets, warm and friendly people, small grocery stores and restaurants on every block.

We wanted to see the changing of the Kings Guard, so we braved the cool, wet weather and it was worth it. Notice the horse closest to us is looking at us. He was kind'a naughty and didn't want to stand in the rain either. He kept turning around, stomping his foot and just be uncooperative in general. I found it kind of funny as eveyone else was so stoiac.

Family is so important to us and we love each one so very much. This is the FlewCrew family at lunch on Easter Sunday, just before we left for Europe.

Remember the song we learned as kids… make new friends, but keep the old, one is silver and the other is gold. It couldn't more true of this community. This is our precious neighbor Ann and we love her!

Keith and Jeff standing on the winners podium. They took bronze and we were so proud.

A weekend with the grand newphews. The sun is out, it is windy and cool, and the water in the pool was very cold. But they all had to show their muscles and jump in. I've never seen boys get out faster than they jumped in. It was hilarious.

Helping with a purpose puts Keith in Tampa Bay, Florida.
