Sitting in Coimbra

We left Madrid this morning on our bus trip. We stopped into two cities on the way. Avila, is another in the list of medieval towns surrounded by a high wall. We visited the church where Saint Theresa lived and later, in Salamanca, we ,G and I, walked the old town and ate lunch in the sunshine of the large city square. One thing we have noticed a lot on our travels is that we are learning how to spot a place to go to the washroom. Today it was in the McDonalds.
We drove on to cross the border in Portugal. Quite different than Spain and a pleasure too. We pulled into a beautiful city called Coimbra and are about to go down for supper. Tomorrow morning, we head out for a tour and walk of the old city and then drive onto Fatima for the day. We will end our day in Lisbon where we stay for 2 nights.
It sure is nice to be here in the Best Western, who would have guessed, and to have free computer use.
