Our journey on this foggy morning takes us across the Portuguese border to Chaves, an ancient Roman town with its mineral springs. But first it was necessary to stop at another spa town for our last chocolate and churros. The fog lifted as we stopped for a sample of the "healing waters" (nasty tasting stuff).
The highlight of the day was our 3 hour home hosted lunch with an extended family, our group being divided into three separate homes, then all joining together at one of the homes for a wonderful demonstration of Fada singing by one of the senior ladies, followed by a shared sing-along by both the Portuguese extended family and us American guests. A very happy, heart-warming event, nothing like any of my previous home visits!
Into the beautiful Duoro Valley to our upscale hotel tonight.
