Red and Green, and Excited!

Only Christmas thing here are the TAP colours, and the fact that we're here in Faro to get a flight to our family for Christmas...

Quite a palaver, as usual, leaving the house all clean and tidy, and packing (think I need counselling about packing), but left in the end. Beautiful drive through olive groves, interspersed with aisles of yellow flowers, and occasional vineyards, bridges over sparkling water, tapas at our usual place in Spain, and safely here to Faro just in time for a gorgeous sunset, extra of the view of Faro from our balcony at AeroMar.

Discovered a new place to walk, crossing back over the bridge, there's a boardwalk alongside the Ria Formosa lagoon, we walked till the turnoff for the airport.

Today's Advent reading was from Luke 3:

John went all through the country around the Jordan River preaching a baptism of life-change leading to forgiveness of sins...

The hope of being able to change, offered as a gift, good news indeed.
