Exploring Obidos Castle (virtually) today...towering over the Portugal countryside, and an entire city within its fortified stone walls. Having recently finshed Chauncer's Treatise on Astrolabe, a technical manual for his grandson. Well written for the time. Completely in the Old English Fashion proving, once again, that spelling is a subjective item. Treatise on Astrolabe is the pre-cursor to all technical manuals written today.
Obidos Castle and the City Within.
Every July, The entire town of Obidos holds a two week Medieval Fair with Battle Re-enactments, maidens, knights, vendors, and role play within the castle walls.
Tomorrow, I will decant and try the Ginjinha that has been ripening for the past month...and Finish the week and Portugal in Sintra and reading Lord Byron's musings about the town.
Until then!
