We continued heading towards the fishing port together with two of our "official" helpers - Marline and Jocelyne, having once more come across a donkey with a similar round the neck and mouth funny "apparatus" to the calves we had previously seen.
As we turned left to walk up to Miranda Cutelo we met Simone's mother proudly walking back home with her "balaio" after having sold the bread she had baked.
We then met Nélida on her way to the morning mess. The fact that she was wearing the embroidered leggings Catarina had offered her some time ago caught my attention. I must confess I feel proud to see how important these "little" things are for them.

We ventured walking up towards Veronica's as I had forgotten to take her photo the previous day, when we were filming her and her father. We saw her and her mother outside the house this time and I felt almost certain Dora would be surprised to see how much she has actually grown.

Just across the steep mountain road stood Ineida's house where we met part of her family (mother, aunt and brother). I then took the opportunity to talk to them for a while and hand out the money we had for her sent by Casanova.

As we made our way back down again we headed towards Aniza's, which had been my first intention, but for some sort of unknown reason (probably tiredness) I took the wrong presents Celeste had given me, so ended up just talking to her great-grandmother, whom I had met before, made a film and took some photos, having promised to come back as soon as possible.

We realised we wouldn't have too much time to hand out presents, as most people were heading to the Church, which was Neuza's case. We still had time to photograph her and tell her to come around the pension any time until midday or after four o'clock.
