The New Year and we are still in Portugal.
Zoa really seems happy on the beach at Galé
And wally attacks his wonderful owner, in spite of the said intelligent owner giving him fresh fried eggs most mornings....
And in the evenings he gets to run with a couple of dogs including Sondian. With water donated by Victoria.
Then a few days to Sagres and up the west coast to Évora and Monsaraz

Tarifa with horse riders...
Snoozing after another beach run...
