Holidays - part III - random and animal things

Faro: if you watch closely there's a stork in that chimney. They have nests everywhere.

If you like shells there's tons of them over there. These ones are organized in an artistic manner.
A small black crab that was trying to hide from me...but I'm a good papparazzi.

Mix of sea creatures you can find in the beach.
This is a special lizard very common in the Algarve. It's called osga and it frequently strolls aroud building's walls at night. They're sweet but I don't think I'd be too happy if one of them fell on top of me.
Dinnertime: hmmm just looking at it makes me hungry. Arroz de tomate com carapauzinhos fritos - can't translate it, but it's fishy ;)

    The shells are so abundant; we rarely get shells on our beaches....

  6. Cathy: There are certain spots on the beach where they're all piled up, probably due to certain sea currents, I don't know. But it's great to find beautiful shells.

    Connie:Thanks! It was a really nice place :) I miss it! Take care.

    FB: The owner of the house is your compatriot and, now that I think of it, I think he's a Liverpool fan - you should ask him ;)

    Kimananda: Of course, you may :) I'm curious now about what's it going to be...

  10. Sophie: Who knows? Maybe one day we'll have dinner by the pool. Sounds wonderful!

    Day: I've never been to a rocky beach. I need to expand my horizons a little!

    Steve: I'll see what I can do about that.

    Chloe: Not sad at all! It's great that you're perceptive and pay attention to the details. The details are very often the key :)
