Tom and I met Peter and Sylvia in the customs line entering Portugal. What a happy accident!

We started out inviting a few of our group of artists and art spouses to do a one day tour of Knights Templar sites in and near Tomar. We ended up with fifteen of our group going and having a fabulous day.

We went to a fortress in the Tagus river, saw an amazing medieval to 16th or 17th Church and had the benefit of the history lessons provided by Ana, Peter and Sylvia. They are all knowledgeable and really added to our appreciation of what we saw. The whole day was terrific. We will let lots of people know that this is a great addition to the popular things to do in Portugal.
