Tuesday, October 29, 2019 Evora
Today we leave Portugal and drive across the border to southern Spain. We had
another great breakfast at the Convent. The breakfast offerings are laid out in the
former refractory and the tables are set in the hallways of the corridors of the cloister.
We were all packed up and ready to go after breakfast. Our group walked down to
the location of our waiting tour bus and our driver Pedro. We're stopping to tour
Merida, which has some interesting Roman ruins and a museum before moving into
our parador in Carmona, Spain tonight.
