Summer days in Pampi - Portugal

This is a special post to describe a special place: “Pampilhosa da Serra”. Sorry for all the non-portuguese readers, but the main language for this post will be Portuguese...

Pampilhosa da Serra, localizada na Beira Baixa, fica inserida no distrito de Coimbra. A beleza natural que a caracteriza faz parte das razões por que me sinto tão bem por lá... Depois há também a calma que se faz sentir, o xisto – pedra tão bonita e característica da zona, os montes, repletos de árvores a perder de vista, os rios/barragens, com água gelada, mas mesmo assim tão apetecível! As aldeias cheias de histórias para contar, as pessoas com aquele espírito hospitaleiro que as caracteriza, as festas de Verão com os cantores populares e diversão pela noite dentro. Vale muito a pena uma visita!

Fica aqui o site da Câmara, recheado de informações úteis!

(de referir que isto é publicidade totalmente gratuita. Só o faço pelo carinho especial que tenho por esta vila e toda a zona envolvente)

E as fotos que tirei na última vez que lá estive:

Famous quote (Albert Pike)

"What we have done for ourselves alone dies with us; what we have done for others and the world remains and is immortal."

(I found this quote recently, in a book I am reading. I thought it was worth to share)

Green...

Because green reminds me of nature (and summer), there you go:

The beauty of Princeton

Princeton is located in the state of New Jersey and is well known by one of the eight universities of the Ivy League – the Princeton University, which is in its present location since 1756. This makes it the fouth oldest college in the United States.

Besides the University, whose grandiosity makes me want to study there, every time I step by, there are other attractions to be noted:

- Lake Carnegie, in the far notheaster corner of Princeton, brings wonderful views.

- The paths through out the lake are great to walking, cycle or run or simply stare and enjoy.

- Nassau Street, the main street of Princeton with small and cosy shops.

- The typical american town houses, which I find delighful...

- The Priceton Garden Theatre – the cinema: it is not as confortable as the new ones, but has the charm of the old town cinemas. Love it for a Sunday night movie out!

- Palmer Square, where during the best time of the year, a big and beautiful Christmas tree finds its place!

 - The several different restaurants to try: typical American, Indian, Japanese, Italian, Mexican...

For all of these and even more, I find Priceton a magical small village and I like the idea of being so close by!
