Nearing the end

Today is Sunday the 26th of February. We leave the Algarve on Tuesday to head home.

The weather today is wonderful. All sun, low wind and the temperature is nearing 20C.

We realized that this is Carnival time in the Algarve. A lot of the festivities are in a town called Loule, which is a short distance from Albufeira. Back in 2006, Bonnie and I, along with our friends, Bob and Doreen Collins, took a bus tour to Loule to view the parade. It was quite spectacular. The floats included a number of painted young ladies. As it turned out that is all the young ladies wore that day. Paint!!!!

The Loule carnival festivities continue into Albufeira.

All the bars, including our favourite, Flavours, are sporting carnival costumes.
Even Bonnie got in the act.

Just in case you wondered where the hell we are, here is our GPS coordinates.

One more view of the tunnel that leads to the beach where our hotel is located.

Tomorrow we prepare to head for home.
