Evora!
Authored By:
This morning we took a nice tour of the charming ancient town of Evora. We checked out a Roman Temple and the famous Sao Francisco Cathedral. There was a creepy surprise lurking in the chapel, however! Above the door reads "Our bones are here, for your's we wait". Inside students gasp in horror as they considered how many human remains were housed in the walls and ceiling.
After a nice typical Portuguese meal of Strogonoff we headed to Comporta beach, a very popular destination for Portuguese families. The students splashed around and played in the waves until their hearts content.
Tonight we settle into our hostel in Setubal, which will be our home for the next 10 days.
Boa Noite!
