Janela (Window)

The house in Portugal that is in Mamãe's Father's side of the family has a wonderful window, that LS is just perfect for. The exterior walls of the house are about a meter thick, an aspect that keeps the interior comfortable in the cooler weather as well as the hot summer.

The house is reportedly around 300 years old. Its thick walls also came in handy as fortification when the house quartered an officer in the Portuguese military when they were fighting off the invasion of Napoleon off the nearby coast.

LS provides the perfect guage to measure this window by. It makes me jealous for being the size that she is! I've always loved this window (which is in the dining room), and these pictures just make me love it more.



Do you think she's having a good time?



As an aside, it also amazes me that within these thick walls I get a multi-megabit mobile broadband signal in order to access the Internet. Oh the things this house has seen...
