rainy day in Queluz

Thu 22 May- awoke to rain again! After breakfast, our typical buffet of cut fresh fruit, orange juice, coffee, eggs & bacon, bread and coffee cake, cereal, etc., we bought 24 hours of Internet connection for E10, so you're getting this update today, and I uploaded the recent photos to http://hutchings.smugmug.com in the Portugal album. We also researched places to stay later in our trip, in northern Portugal and Spain. Had a picnic dinner of salad and wine. This seems to be a good strategy - a big supper mid-day along with a long walk, then a light salad and wine for dinner around 7 or 8. Eating a large meal after 7:30 pm just causes difficulty sleeping, and is uncomfortable.
