Not much exciting in terms of photos yet, so just a few documentary shots.
Note that you can click on any of the photos to see a larger version, but now to go back to the blog you need to click on the X in the upper right of the enlarged photo. And, you can also scan through large versions of all of the photos from the screen with the enlarged photo.
A few photo from the air on the approach to Portugal (the quality of the photos taken from the plane is limited by somewhat unclear windows). I am always very pleased to see the first sighting of land after several hours over the Atlantic. So included here is the first such sighting with some additional photos of the mountainous area, the first beach areas then the Ria Formosa which begins just east of Faro. There is one photo of the salt pads - Portugal has long been a producer and exporter of salt.
Finally below are two of the beach, just to prove we were there. I slept late this morning so we got a late start, but managed to walk the beach in to town at low tide.
The last photo is a view from just outside the door to our apartment.
Looks like you are back in the same digs as last year, and perhaps years before as well. Have a great time. I didn't realize you had gone.

Looks like you have arrived at the same place as last year and perhaps others years too. Lovely photos. I get excited and very curious about land sightings when flying as well.
ReplyDeleteHave a grand time.
