More From July

In the week before we went on vacation Steve did his second music exam


Robin being Robin....
Street scenes in Salamanca where we stopped overnight on the way to Ericeira. Having never really spent any significant time in Spain - it was interesting to drive almost right through the middle of the country NE to SW. A large amount is indeed high plains (about 900m above sea level) dry and flat(tish) and walled cities with castles. All very Don Quixote.
The cathedral in Salamanca was amazing (even though I suffer quickly from ABC (Another Bloody Catheral) Syndrome when travelling.


Baking teenagers - a fairly typical scene during the vacation.
Some art deco in Ericeira village. It is an old fisjing village that has been encapsulated by lots of holiday homes.
Day trip to Lisbon.
And what do they make in Portugal? Port! Check the dates on the bottles. Just in the main shopping street in the city centre.
Steve having a bit of a break
Lisbon
The mysterious breakage of the car window. Nothing stolen. What you miss here is the fact that it was sunny/warm but the wind was blowing about 30+ kph
