Milano e Chieri - the begining

We started early in the morning on Sunday. Travel a lot by plane to Milan and walked for 4 hours with some bags to see the Duomo, Vittorio Emanuele Galleries and the Scala. And it was worth it.
Then we took a fantastic train to Torino, near Cheiri, our final destination.

On Monday we went to Liceo A. Monti for some lessons, like music lesson, and for lunch. Then we had a guided tour around the cold but beautiful Chieri. We also visited the Textile Museum.

We are enjoying but our feet are complaining.

Tomorrow we will give you more news.

Our next meeting is coming soon. So is time to remember our last October 2009 in Almada - Portugal.
See you soon

Portuguese Carnival


Hello friends!
We are writing to tell you about the Portuguese Carnival traditions.
Here in Almada, we wear masks and we do a Carnival Parade on Sunday and on Tuesday. This parade is organized by the local schools with the cooperation of the Town Hall.
In Portugal, we call "Domingo Gordo", which means "Fat Sunday" and "Entrudo" that is on Tuesday. On Wednesday, is "Quarta-feira de Cinzas" that's when we bury Carnival.
In other Portuguese villages and towns, there are different and very original traditions.


During these festivities, we play tricks and we have a lot of fun.
You can see same pictures of the parades.
