Lagos by way of Evora. Our dinner last night was about a million stairs up the hill. Yes I exaggerate, however my legs were burning when we arrived. We ended up at a quaint Portuguese restaurant where while we ate, we were serenade in Fado. I tried black grouper, and when I say tried, I tasted Aleks’. I ordered the chicken- as usual, Piri-piri style and some tasty white wine sangria. 
Today was as hot, maybe even hotter than yesterday as we head inland. We made our way to Lagos by way of Evora. Evora is one of the Europes oldest towns, dating back to more than two millennium. What makes this town unique, aside from age, it holds a 16th century Chapel of Bones. Yes, an entire room covered from floor to ceiling with skulls and bones. The monks decided to relocate the bones from all the cemeteries to the chapel….I must admit, it’s a sounded creepy but I had to check it out. And it was “interesting”!  You know you’re going to zoom in for a closer look! That arch, it’s made of bones. Those are skulls of varying sizes. 

More pics to follow.

We have now made our way south to the seaside town of Lagos, I can’t wait to explore. 

Fun facts- Portugal’s top exports: cork, wine and tomatoes! I didn’t even know Portuguese tomatoes were a thing, and they are delicious, a little sweet even.
