June 9: Tomar

OLYMPUS DIGITAL CAMERAWe are starting to get into our stride–walked 22.5 km (14) today. It was cold and rainy when we started, warmed enough to make it comfortable for walking, and remained overcast all day. The road was filled with snails, which the Portuguese collect for food. This evening, the Templar town of Tomar, the restaurant specialty was snails. People eat them with a toothpick and wash it down with a beer. Seemed like to much work for me.

    1. Phil,

      I have found the wine and beer to be excellent. Did you not try it when you were here last?
