far from me and my town, Coimbra, threw your blog, i saw beautiful pictures. Young women crying, in Sé Velha, monument wich has been done about 800 yares ago. They crying, because earing the fado of Coimbra, the music wich tell us about «saudade», a very sad feelling, but wonderfful one. Just only who was born in Coimbra, like me, can understand that.
Thank you for show to the world so great moment, you leaved at my city.

Thank you, poeta do penedo for your comment. Coimbra is indeed a beautiful city. 'Ainda es capital de amor em Portugal,' in the words of your famous fado.
