And more Carnaval

A mix of sun and cloud day today but the clouds are mostly white - hopefully another rain free day. Not as warm as our first week but definitely pleasant. Low tide is around 11:30 am so likely a walk to old town on the beach around noon.

I have not been to the beach in the early morning the last couple of days - sleeping so well I did not wake up in time for sunrise.

Nothing special on today but tomorrow we are going to one of the evening concerts by the Algarve Symphony Orchestra - we went last year and really enjoyed the evening, which starts at 9:30pm.

On Saturday six of us are going on a day trip to the western Algarve with a guide who has organized the trip for us, so not entirely sure where we are going. We'll find out and I'll let you know on Sunday or Monday.

So, a few more photos from Carnaval this post.
This couple is in costumes quite similar to a group in 2009 - not the same couple, of course. Unfortunately, this fellow appeared unhappy to be there - I didn't see a smile.
These guys were on stilts with springs - so they were bouncing around looking very macho.
Three women whose faces and attire I thought interesting and appealing.

Next post I will show some photos of folks in the crowd who were in costume.
