Inspired by omg.lol, again, I just ordered a doodle from Hey Hey Momo.
Momo drew the cutest heart I’ve seen for them, and I’d love to get a new avatar from him.
It’s coming 🥰
The Coolest Car
Citroën Méhari. Orange, of course.
Ulysses has been acting up in ways that I cannot understand. Posts disappear while I’m writing them, after spending minutes getting all the photos in order.
No longer trust it.
Slower morning today…
Taking our time before the birthday party begins. Girls at the pool, I’m enduring the sunburn in bed 🤣
Getting a lot of small videos, on top of the usual photos, and I can’t wait to edit them, and get an overview of tinyMovieStar’s vacation together.
Family member birthday party today, we’re skipping beach until much later in the day.
Happy coincidence, as yesterday I stayed in the sun WAY longer than I should, and I wouldn’t want people to mistake me for a tourist on the beach 🤣🤣
A python never loses interest or goes away of its own accord. You must make it do so.

Algarve, DayFour
The day started with dogs and bagels, and then we were off to the beach. Family joined us a bit later.
We spent the whole day there, enjoying the beautiful weather and calm waters. We played with rackets, tried Stand Up Paddle, and built sand castles (now called Paw Patrol headquarters).
A break for beer and food at lunch time, at the beach club, more beaching, and dinner at the restaurant on the beach. It was the only place we could find that could host us. August in Algarve is restaurant chaos, everywhere we called was fully booked. We even called a restaurant across the border, also not accepting anyone else.
Getting a table for dinner is impossible, booking a table is close to that. Darn, Algarve.
Tried SUP, fell down a couple of times. Not as easy as it looks from the outside.
6:28, the sun is rising. I guess I won’t get any more sleep now. Time to start thinking about that first coffee… ☕️
Algarve, DayThree
movieStar’s family joined us at the beach. Long day, with games, food, drink, running around, and no nap time for tinyMovieStar.
We were all exhausted by the end.
Not everyone crosses the border by car…
Algarve, DayTwo
Pool in the morning, beach before lunch time, and the usual hop across the border to Ayamonte, for the afternoon and early dinner.
We came back, predictably, with a ton of croquetas de jamon in our bellies.
In a couple of days: Sevilla.
Algarve, DayOne
After a three hour drive, highway full of people, we made it to our little paradise.
I picked up some supplies while the movieStars took a nap, and then off to the beach.
Epic day! Warm water, beach empty at our secret spot.
Mel is here as well!
Welcome Party
We made it. Our hosts for the week are the sweetest, and we found a small purse on the bathroom. “Clara’s Stuff” 🥰
The dogs are here, and so was a chameleon.
Poo Time
I could never imagine poo time would be one of my favorite parts of the day. Not mine, mind you, but tinyMovieStar’s.
Whenever she announces she has to go, I know I’m in for a great time. We talk a lot while she’s at it. Some of the most incredible chats we have had happen at poo time.
We go through the highlights of the day, or something she wants to share with us. Serious at times, funny most of the time, always a pleasure.
No one has ever told us about this.
Or the multiple places where a bath is so totally right.
The bathroom is now one of our favorite places, I guess.
It starts tomorrow, but already got an email from Craig Mod’s TOKIO TŌKYŌ TOKYO.
It’s going to be a great week!
Eggs
Add bacon and I turn into happyMaique.

Couch and kitten. Perfect Sunday.
Laaaaaaazy Sunday.
Recharging, tomorrow we’re back on the road.
Nap Time
See you in a bit.
