We arrived in North America for seven weeks to visit our daughters and family spread from Calgary, Red Deer, Carrot River Canada to Conroe Texas. After a few days in cold Alberta, we’re flying to Texas to be with our youngest and family for eight days.

Last month, we purchased tickets to Les Princesses, a circus act (no animals) from France performed in Monchique (40 minutes from Lagos). It was a hilarious, zany, totally unconventional performance. We booked into the Monchique Spa Resort for two nights, spoiling ourselves with the half dozen or more water massage treatments, saunas, and delicious food. I even booked an “invigorating foot massage”. Our room was a suite, and just 65 euro for the off-season rate. Sorry, no photos allowed for either the circus or the spa. I did take a shot or two outside at the pool. Last August the resort was evacuated when the destructive Monchique fire came too close.
