River Douro

Today we went to a beautiful beach near river Douro in Gondomar that belongs to the municipality of Porto. It was such a hot day, but sadly we coudn't go into the water because we had still a little cough after swimming in the Ocean last week☺We went on a long walk by the river and enjoyed the nature around us. After we drank cold lemonade with our hosts in a bar near the beach. When we were going back home, we stopped to see the organization that Carlos volonteers to. He showed us everything, the training room, the office... He gave us a lot of gifts from the organization.

A trip to the castle

Obraz
On a sunny Sunday afternoon we decided to take a trip to the castle. It was very hot, so we had to put on a ton of sunscreen, in opposite way we would look like shrimps, because here the sun is much stronger then in Poland so you have to protect your skin and eyes. The drive took us less then an hour from Rio Tinto (a town near Porto) to Gumaraes, and we arrived to the monumental castle. The castle was built in the 10th century to defend the monastery. Inside of that edifice was presented history of Portugal. It was really interesting, because this small country has huge history.

We don't waste our time here, we don't only explore the city but also villages near by. It's interesting to see all the houses diffrent and peoples gardens filled with lemon and orange trees. From what we have seen portuguese really appreciate having there own vegetables and fruits. The oranges here taste amazing we love to squeeze fresh orange juice everyday for breakfast and sprinkle a little bit of lemon on fish from Atlantic Ocean.
