Some snapshots from Sal:
This is the usual view out our door and is accompanied by knocking and shouts of, "Oi Sara! Oi Celeste! Open the door! Come play!"
The 2 main futbol teams that people support are either Porto or Benfica (Portuguese teams). When they played each other our landlord brought his plasma TV down 3 flights of stairs and hooked it up in front of the store. Note the man in the background who was in charge of holding the antennae.
One of my favorite dogs in Espargos:
At the Inception Workshop for the launch of the Protected Areas Project with the other EEs (Matt and Scott) and the project leaders (Oliver from the UNDP and Leao Carvalho from the DGA). We got to help finalize the project document and then attended the public launch of the project.
Some of the girls from the community center in Cha d'Matias. (The following photos are courtesy of Couch-surfer Kai!)
During Spring Break the center had a sports day for the kids. The boys had a futbol tournament and the girls played a tag-like/dodgeball game. Things were quite intense on both sides.
These boys have the same nickname and look exactly alike. It was several days at the center before I realized that they were twins and not just one crazy kid running around everywhere. I still cannot tell them apart.
Some contention between teams over the score keeping.
Waiting for their turn on the field.
