Dr. Biswas asked us whether we would like to join them for the Free Walking Tour during her visit to Braga. That’s a good idea. We haven’t done that even though we had lived here for quite a while. The tour starts at the New Gate which is 2 minutes away from our apartment and ends at the Republic Square 3 minutes away. It would be a great opportunity to review and reflect on our community.

The tour took over two hours. Our tour guide was a local resident who spoke excellent English. There are two groups, one for a European students group with over 40 people, and the other for six of us.

As she explained Baroque architectural styles, she mentioned a Portuguese phrase, A virtude esta no meio. I was about to say that’s Confucius.
