Driving Home

Driving home Driving back to Algarve we took the long road more cafés and restaurants by the roadside and not so many crazy drivers. The restaurants were full of Portuguese people on vacation they like their lunch in this country Grilled chicken Grilled meat Grille the unspeakable innards Stewed meat Bacalao with cream Red wine Fresh fish Beans in its many variations Water, cold from the well The worst of the summer heat had gone good mood prevailed. People talk in this country at the same time. The din of happy, eating people was symphony of summer time a few weeks of freedom, the paying of bills could come later I love this country called Portugal even when I'm in a hurry and the women in front of me and the check-out person talk about grandchildren.
