My holidays in Algarve...

summer story, algarve, holidays, Summer Essay

As you know I have my two cameras broken!
I used my causin cameras, so I had to be careful
to don't broken any one...

This castle, Silves castle, a city in Algarve,
had in this time of the year a very big mediaevel
fair!
If some day you went in Silves don't forget to
visite this castle.
Sangria was very good and cool!

In this mediaevel fair I found two tent with lots of dresses of the meadiavel age to dress...
Any dress rent by 2 euros!
Almost all the tourist dress these beautiful dresses.

As you can see in that photo my dress was a poor man from that age...very very scary poor man!

I was scaring lots of people in tha fair...was very funny...

Take a look in the beautiful Queen dressed by dark, how I miss her in this holidays.

One of the good things in algarve is that you can see lots of fig three for every where, and you can pick some, and eat...in August they are delicious...

Close my house we have some fig trees, I climb all of them trees to take lots of figs as you can see in that photo!

Almond tree is also a tree that you can find in Algarve, is the tipical tree in Algarve, you also can take some almonds and eat, they are delicious at this time of the year.

I and my uncle we clean a almond tree we take more them 20kg of almonds,en to eat in that week!

At the beach I try to rest a bit...but as you can see was difficult...these lovely girls don't stop to ply with me all the time...or to play football, or swimm, run...OMG they run to fast....

some times sand constroctions...lots of things we can do at the beach!

I made some adventures, so in the end I have to say that was a nice summer holidays week!
But one of the great things I made, was write more then 20 post cards to my opera friends

So, the other photos you will find them in my new photo album Summer holidays

Once a year, we have a month long festival called 'The Rennaisance Faire'. If you dress up, you get in at a discount, or maybe free, I forget. I have been only once but want to go again and maybe dress up. I took many photos the time I went but it was a long time ago and I have to find them.

My favorite parts were the jousting and at the end, all the people danced and played instruments on the way out. It was so much fun.

zetorres # 2. September 2008, 17:08

In that fair we also see a marriage with kings and Queens...fantastic!
