We are finding wild flowers on our walks every day.  It is hard to keep Paula walking.  I keep looking around to find her and she is off picking more flowers.  It is a good thing that Portugal is abundant in wild flowers and there isn´t some law against picking them!  It´s a good thing we are not walking for the cadio-vascular aspect of walking!!

 

 

We finally found a street named after us, Casal Velho.  Yeah, it means Old Couple!  We went down this street and then up into the mountains behind us.  There is a winding walkway up the mountainside and rock walls all over the place.  If you look really close you can see some of the walls.  We are not sure why so many rock walls.  One lady there told us that is was to keep the animals contained and protected.  It had to take centuries to build all of these walls and walkways.  From a distance it did not look very pretty, but once on the hike we could nt believe the wild beauty.  It is amazing.
