In the Alentejo region is the Torre de Palma winery. It's very photogenic. The storks nest here in May are as good as their rose and red wines.

Pre-dinner glass of wine at sunset on top of the winery The view of the pool A little chapel where they used to have church for the staff. It has a Jesus made of cork . Lots of cork trees there. One wall in our room. Angel wings made of gold, dress maniquins- the room is otherwise stark white.

We visited our favorite wine region of Portugal, the Alentejo. Howard's Folly restaurant was easily the best meal that we had all week, not to mention the best wine.

We moved to Portugal and I have a little black redstart that comes each morning to say hello, eat bugs and slugs and then sings me a song. It feels very Disney- like. Great variety of birds that you have!

A coastal walk yesterday yielded so many unique flowers. I forgot to take pictures though..... until I was looking at a beautiful flower and a big brownish- orange bumble bee buzzed by. I could not get his picture and my husband was encouraging me to continue the walk. Salir do Porto Portugal.
