Day in Albufeira

 We spent the day walking the town, even though it is almost winter the temperature is in the mid 60's, there are plenty of foreigners like us walking the streets and visiting the few shops that are open during the off-season.
We are somewhat disappointed in this town, we expected to see a more charming town but it seems like it is all tourism. We did walk the beach a little, all the establishments have the World Cup games on TV. It is nice that the  restaurants and shops are not in your face to come inside or have a meal at their place, it is a very relaxed atmosphere. We had a difficult time deciding where to sit for a meal and to watch the soccer match.  We try to avoid the busy tourist filled restaurants.  We finally settled on a smaller café that made hamburgers.  The game was not on so I asked the waitress if she could change the channel for us.  She did and we watched the game and ate our meal.  The burgers were perfectly cooked, pink in the middle and had great flavor.  Carmen had the Popeye burger with spinach and brie cheese with onion rings.  We drank our daily dose of beer and then moved on to the grocery market to buy some items for our morning meals for the next few days.  At the end of the day we watched the Mexico World cup game, Carmen manage to find a Sombrero.
