This morning I went to the beach again about 7:30 am - too late for good photo light, but took a photos - I know I put a lot of beach photos up, but it's such a beautiful spot, especially in the morning. So - one photo here from this morning at the beach and one from our morning walk yesterday.

John and I went to the Gypsy market this morning - Ruth and Jean opted to stay home for their own particular reasons.
The Gypsy market in Albufeira occurs every 1st and 3rd Monday of the month and it's packed with all manner of "stuff" and tourists like us. Hawkers shouting out their wonderful prices - "Two euros, high quality……" etc. And for those of us who are unused to "bargaining" they are very cagey and tricky.
One woman quoted a price and when we said it was too high, she lowered the price and tried to stuff another similar item in the bag - for a bit less than twice the price of the first item one could have two - we only wanted one but it was hard to convince her of that.
And you dare not give a 20 euro bill for a 15 euro item - you will have much difficulty getting your change. "Shh .. Shh" she says, don't let others know I am giving you this great price as she stuffs the unwanted second item in your bag.
It is all very colourful both to the eyes, as the photos show, and the game playing.
Another beautiful, sunny day - a bit cooler than previous days, but warm and pleasant in the sun.
