Pictures

the following pcitures where taken during my vacations to portugal. for all of you that don't know i'm from a city called PORTO. actually i live about 10 minutes from Porto. then there are a few picture at the bottom from when i was really young, about the age of 5 or 6...

well enjoy...

These two Photos were take when i was about the age of 6. It's a Convent ( a home for nunes and priests) about 2 km away from my home in Portugal. It was built in 1612 and is located on the side a this great mountain overlooking the Rio Douro.

This is photo taken about 3 years ago. It's basically the front yard of my house. But due to high movement in the town I no longer have this great view of the River Tamega, but abunch of Apartment buildings and a glamorous mall.

This photo was taken from the entrance at my cousins house, showing the large mountain range I live in and the Rio Douro. This River is about 1/2 a km wide and about 1/2 deep due to sanding in the area. This is where me and my cousins like to spend most of our time, just sitting and talking or going down to the river for a swim.

These are my favorite cousins, Ana (left) and Artur or Arthur in English (right). We're down at the Pool beside the River. This is the best place to kill some time.

This is a photo that was taken when my brother came up north to my house from Aveiro for his Birthday. From left to Right: My brother's Wife Rosa, My brother Joe, my neice Cathy and my DaD.
The are all standing by the gateway of my house.

This is my mother and my aunt Maria. This was taken the first or second day that we had arrived in portugal

This is my house. As you can see the bottom portion is made of solid Granite and the top is pure concreat, with reb tiles for the roofing. Now matter if a tornade were to pass by my house, it's not going anywhere. Hey Guess who the little kid on the bike is!!!

This is my Dad's 200 D Mercedes Benz. i got it in 98-99. It's huge, wieghting at about 2 tons. the only problem with this car is that it's deisel engine is too small for the size of the car, making acceration really slow. But the interior is amazing, all leafther as you can see.

These are really old Pictures i found in my album. this is me at the age of 4 or 5. this was my first time that i've been to Portugal. See all those trees in the Back. that's my back yard, a totally great place to play hide and seek.

My First encounter with a computer.
I think i was playing hockey or some other video game like that.
