Explored Coimbra which is a University town and evidenced by students getting around in Academic gowns and holding some sorts of rites of passage on the streets. The old town area is filled with rustic buildings and the characteristic Azulejos, Portuguese tiling, which is very beautiful. So too are souvenirs and depictions of the Portuguese “Le Coq du Bonheur” or the rooster of luck and happiness. Rooster was also on the menu last night! Gorgeous weather and finally warm enough for short sleeves.
