The Long Days of SUMMER!

These days remind us of our 3 months of summer holidays from school, when time seemed endless, the sunlight lasted until all hours, games in the street followed one after another, a spell at the beach with our parents, and our bodies relaxed from so much outdoor activity, good weather and joy.
This past month of June was a month of intense outdoor activity for us, of new experiences and many kilometres covered.
From Sagres to Lisbon, to Covilhã, to Estremoz, down through the inland Alentejo, we travelled the whole of the Algarve and came back to Sagres again. Long journeys, the hours of the day seem never to end, and we want to make the most of them.
There was plenty of news in June!
We started by going on an outing with classic Mercedes vans, where our Magic Moments van was one of the participants! We toured the Algarve, met new people and learnt a lot. More photos in the slide show alongside!
Back in Sagres we did a photo report of the Hurley group during their surf lesson, and at the end of the day we were treated to their laughter and giggles as they watched the photos :)
Photography is a constant passion and we love passing it on to others! Amy (from England) is our newest photography student! Preparing the lessons is a challenge; we always try to combine theory with practice, and with such a beautiful coastline we always vary the locations! We have already been to Burgau and Porto da Baleeira, and still to come are a sunset in Sagres (at Praia do Tonel and the Fortress), a surf lesson, a fishing trip aboard the Estrela do Mar, and a few surprise photo games for the end. Even we are excited! ;-)
