Happy Father's Day!

A few pictures chronicling the past few days. The beauty of this place continues to amaze me. Today Frida the cat stepped inside with a mouse in her mouth and a few minutes later Fleur, the other kitten, came in with a bird. Me no likey.

Went to the local farmer's market in Estramoz on Saturday (so much cheese, olives, fruit!), followed by a 2-hour ping-pong marathon where it was proven very quickly that just because one grows up with a ping-pong table in their backyard doesn't mean one can hold a candle to the seasoned players. We had a farewell dinner for Karan up at the castle at sunset.

I came here to finish a draft of my novel, and despite all the fun and activity, I think I'm going to reach my goal. 

Wanted to wish my Dad a very happy Father's Day! Miss you and wish I could be there eating with everyone!

fierce games of ping pong.
