Oranges and more oranges

Yesterday Almeida Pires the manager of Pedras de Rainha delivered a large bag of oranges. They were not large they were huge. Trish immediately cut one into pieces and we ate it. I can tell you I have never had a juicier orange. The pulp melted in your mouth. Clearly The Algarve produces the best Oranges in the world.

It is not just oranges. This morning a farmer who comes around about once a week sold Trish a box of the largest, redest and juiciest strawberries any of us have had. I guess that The Algarve also produces the best strawberries in the world.

I have a couple of pictures of oranges on trees, but it is hard to show just how many orange trees there are. The orchards are literally everywhere. All the orchards are well fenced so no picking your own.

The Brennan's would like to thank Almeida for his thoughtful gift and urge all who are reading this to come to The Algarve and test out my premise concerning the best oranges/strawberries in the world for yourself.
