It's a beautiful day, 21C (70F) with blue skies and brilliant sunshine. It is time to get out!
While William relaxes with his coffee and e-mail in the morning, I take a 45 minute walk to explore the area away from Centro. It is mostly uphill. I find a couple of small parks and a good point to view the white apartment and condo buildings built on the hillsides.

In the afternoon we go to the beach for a while. William sits in the shade at Roca Bar while I walk along the lapping shore of the Atlantic. Families and friends are laying in the sun or playing in the ocean. When I meet up with William we enjoy an appetizer, beer and glass of wine. As this restaurant is literally on the beach I expect that the prices will be outrageous. No, this is Portugal. My glass of wine is 3.50€ and William's pint is 3.25€. While this is a little more than we would play during Happy Hour at a restaurant in the center of town, it certainly is not outrageous. 😀
