Picture perfect - day 5 in Portugal

Day 5 - We started off with a delicious breakfast with 20 fellow pilgrims - it was an entertaining breakfast minus the white and red port and the moonshine. We hooked up with Kamala from Faroe Island (originally from Sri Lanka) along our journey, a very wonderful person and so friendly - this is her 5th Camino - can you imagine that? We got to sample some delicious green grapes from a local farmer as they were exited the field with their harvest and also sampled more Concord grapes along the way. We are rather tentative about eating too much grapes (or perhaps it may have been the port or maybe bad bread - NOT). The day was a perfect temperature with some early morning mist - and then sunny all the day - perhaps around 23-25 degrees. There was a slight breeze that made it great for walking with our packs. It has been our shortest journey so far - only 15 kms. We arrived at the Ponte de Lima - a beautiful city along the Rio Lima river. We were entertained by watching a fashion/advertising photo shoot (georgeous models), live music (including accordion and drums) and dancers. Real great to watch. We enjoyed the leisurely afternoon just walking about and touring the city. The air is so fresh, the fruit always delicious and the bread is simply amazing. Our lunch had us sampling some new cheeses and pickled onion and sardines - it was actually quite good. We found a new favourite dessert, a custard tart with this flakey dedcandent shell - it will our daily morning snack. Our journey today had us meet a group of cyclists from Belgium - they are going from Porto to Santigo in 3 days!!!! It is going to take us about 12, maybe we should have brought our bikes, next time. We ended our day with meeting up again with some pilgrims from last night - it will be neat to keep crossing paths.
