Portugal - Coimbra - 2005

 

This is one of the streets just below the campus; the heart of the old city and where the students and teachers still live and enjoy the University life.

Walking through these tiny, winding, steep, streets is a very enjoyable thing to do.  You get up close to the people and find their lives are good.  Materially they have much less, but they appear to be enthusiastic, energized and happy.

Also, there is no sense of fear here, even at night.  We both felt completely safe at all times during this trip.
