Comments on: Portugal Pictures – Barcelos & Braga! http://www.trenthergenrader.com/wordpress/2006/06/04/portugal-pictures-barcelos-braga/ Tue, 31 Aug 2010 00:57:06 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.0.1 By: MartiHart http://www.trenthergenrader.com/wordpress/2006/06/04/portugal-pictures-barcelos-braga/comment-page-1/#comment-5293 MartiHart Fri, 09 Jun 2006 05:09:53 +0000 http://www.hergenraders.com/wordpress/?p=447#comment-5293 Thanks for posting all these fabulous photos of your trip! The commentary was wonderful and I could have commented on every shot, but thought better of it. Glad you had such a wonderful time - in spite of: soft beds, weird food (you guys ate things we wouldn't touch), cold shower, hand laundry in a very small sink, steep walkways to castles, Amy's vertigo, very narrow roadways, close calls and scraped cars, bad drivers, and rain. Loved the restaurant owner who let you struggle with ordering off the menu in Portugese, then spoke perfect English when you were done. Many great memories! Time to plan your next trip!

The backdrop is what gets your attention - that's a great shot - and yes, once again, you can delete that guy without damaging the rest of the picture if you want to.

And that library with the gold leaf - amazingly gorgeous - what a place to sit in and study, huh? Great picture of Amy on the church steps – really emphasizes the size of that door and archway!

BTW, you can manually delete the German people in the photo, if you want, with a photo editing program. The Born Jesus is incredible!

What a weird symbol, huh? Anyway, this whole thing with the word "cock" reminds me of the South Carolina Gamecocks - we've seen or heard just about every slogan involving the word "cock" that you can have, especially on the bumper stickers on Rednecks' trucks - they are very creative, as you can imagine!

I haven't been commenting because our less-than-reliable cable company, G-Force, has been having troubles and we've been nearly down, meaning extremely s l o w connections. When it gets this way, it's frustrating waiting 15 minutes on each click, so we just don't go on. I thought it would have been improved by this morning, but it wasn't until later today. Anyway, loved your hotel in Barcelos, I think it was. Your room, the red one, looked very nice. Hated your meal, though. Yuck, I could definitely lose weight with that meal in Portugal! Glad Amy's chicken was good! Hi!
