Alentejo Outtakes
Cathedral of Évora
March 11th, 2021
It’s two-for-one Thursday!
Does this happen to you? You write a post and months later go back through your photos and wonder why you did or didn’t choose to share certain images? Today’s post is an example of this. I’m sharing a handful of photos here that, for some reason, didn’t make it into my main post about Évora and the Alentejo.
Which brings me to part two! If you’re interested in exploring and reading more about this area of Portugal, I hope you’ll visit my full post titled “Stones and Bones of the Alentejo” located here, originally posted in November, 2017. Many of you read it and commented back then so today I’m simply linking to let you know it’s there. You’ll also find yesterday’s old men in context, in the little town of Arraiolos.
We’re approaching the end of our time in Portugal. I have a couple more photos and one more repost before we’re back on the magic carpet to our next destination — somewhere I visited for a specific reason exactly three years ago.
More tomorrow,
Kelly

Yes, often, Kelly! But then sometimes I think- too many photos. Enough! 🙂 🙂

Yes, happened often, partly because I take too many pictures and can’t decide which to choose. Always love all yours, particularly today’s gorgeous piazza/square. 😊

Ah, yes, too many photos — a problem I know well, too! Agreed — the piazza here is so pretty. Would have loved to see it lit up at dusk. Maybe another time. Hope you’re enjoying the weekend!

Peggy and I really enjoyed Evora, Kelly, once we figured out it wasn’t meant for driving! 🙂 –Curt

Ha! We drove around in circles (literally around the town) looking for parking! 🙂

We drove around (and around) looking for our lodging and then discovered it outside the walls!. 🙂

This happens to me a lot – I leave out pics that should have been included, include ones that later I see are clearly not the best. Of these I absolutely love the bench.

Oh, yay! Thank you for loving the bench! I photographed it not only because it’s simple and beautiful but to show the scale of the size of that chain. But for the life of me, I can’t remember what the chain was used for! 😦
