Today we visited the town of Silves - about a 15 minute trip from our Villa - of course depending on how many times we got lost! There is a castle therethat was built in the 12th cenury. Quite incredible. Too bad some of our homes are not built quite as well. The area around the town is lush and green - unlike our trip the day before that was barren. The roads in the town are up and down and verrry narrow as you can see in the pictures. Driving and parking was an extreme challenge especially for Canadians unsure of how to do it. Caused us to go home and have a six hour happy hour. The area around the town is full of orange groves. That's all that you could see from the Castle.
The Villa is awesome with a notable exception that we are trying to get corrected -no hot water! Showers are really quick. Mr. Z is in charge - all will be well by tonight. Hope that everyone is well. We are fantastic! The weather is beautiful.
