Evora

May 15th we made a visit to Evora. Everywhere was cobbled. There were some steps, but we managed these. I wore my decent Hotter shoes with good grips.  Although well inland, this walled city goes back to Roman times and is where Vasco da Gama lived. There is a bizarre "Chapel of Bones" made with skeletons. Getting to Evora was through rolling countryside called Alentejo.  This region has very few houses. We saw plenty of storks, a few cattle egrets and a grey shrike There were plenty of birds I could not identify, but alas no bee eaters.
