Pictures of Portugal #11





Tanner's Christmas field trip to Obidos.  They took these really nice buses.  Not like at home, where all the schools take "school" buses.  We tagged along in our own car, so we could spy on them...









Nativity set up in Obidos.  The whole town was decorated for Christmas.  They do it every year.  It's called Obidos Vila Natal.














Aren't we just so cute?  This was along the "fort wall" around the town.  This was a look out spot.













And aren't we just so cute, to?  This was the same lookout spot facing the other way.  If you notice the stone wall in the back ground - that is the wall we are sitting on in the picture - it surrounds the entire town of Obidos.






This is Tanner & his teacher (who speaks English pretty well).  We had finally managed to catch up to Tanner's class. The kids in his school were required to wear Santa hats so they could be seen easily.







Walking around the fort wall.

 








This was the cool "look out" spot.  On the other side of that wall was a "death" drop.







Kaylie inside a very old church in Obidos.

The "main drag" in Obidos.  This was the BEST DAY EVER!!!!  Kaylie and I had SO much fun shopping in all the little shops down this road (yes, I think Rick was just slightly bored, but very patient).   Then when the sun went down, this street was all lit up with Christmas lights.  We love this town.
