Rodrigo's Christening and Beach

Sun and sun....some wind....but loads of fun even in the cold Porto sea. I built sand castles and went walking in the rocks and played loads with my cousin Rodrigo. I even got my first Porto football clothes and I think I look very cool. I prefer the clothes to watching a full game at the stadium. I enjoyed Rodrigo's christening and thought it was very funny when he got water on his head....he did not cry and was very well behaved.
Mamã, papá and I went to Viagem Medieval de Feira (Medieval Voyage) and we had loads of fun....I got a knight's cross painted on my face, i played many different medieval games, we climbed upto the castle, we ate medieval cooked pork, we went for a walk in the magic woods and joined the fairies and wizard.

Drive to Porto

We went by car to Porto for holidays....1200 km each way. I joined mamã and papá in the car to Porto and they drove back alone leaving me at the local party in Vale Cambra for another exciting one week's holiday. I am a very good passenger in the car...I played, talked and played "I spy with my little eye something beginning with white, blue, green, red....inside and outside the car" - we had lots of fun and laughter playing this game. Papá did most of the driving...he preferred to drive at his pace versus mamã :-) We stopped in Versailles but there were so many people we could not visit the Chateau. In Niot we stopped to see the castle and try to look for dinner restaurant but it was sooooooo quiet that we could not find a place open so we drove onto Saintes where we would sleep....we found a good meat restaurant. We went for a beautiful long walk around 9pm in Saintes through the old and new city visiting the roman artefacts...a lovely way to wind down after the long drive. The next day we drove via Basque country and to Chavres on Portuguese side for dinner in the fort castle....great yummy meal. We walked around again at night to see another castle and arrived in Porto around 11pm....kisses to all and then to sleeeeeeeeeep in a proper bed (Tia's old bedroom). Wow.

Summer 2010


In June and July....wow it was very warm....I enjoyed ALL three swimming pools in our garden from the small pink fish from our holidays in Greece last year...to my pirate ship (here playing with Florian) and our luxurious lie-back swimming pool. I love to play although I am not ready to jump into big deep swimming pools without some type of float to help. Anyway enjoy these warm summery pictures.

I went to England to stay with Grandma and Ti'pah for a week when mamã went to America. Mamã and papá went on the motorbike and watched the World Cup Final in centre of Brussels - Spain vs Germany - Spain won....:-)
