Weather: Finally the winds have subsided and we have a beautiful warm sunny day.
We decided to make the trip to the other side of Faro to the Roman ruins in the town of Estoi. This is a small settlement about 10 miles from the ocean. In fact it covers only about 2 acres. As a comparison Conimbriga that lies about 150 miles to the north covers 30 plus acres with floors perfects after two millennia. However, Milreu still gives the observer a good idea of how Roman life was lived.

Roman temple. This clearly illustrates of use of typical and unique Roman mortar. We have seen this a Trier in Germany with similar brick and the brown mortar. This is mortar that has lasted two thousand years open to the elements. |
