A cruise in Portugal and a visit to ancient Hindu ruins in India 

30/3/2016

 
​In March Reina and John took us to Portugal for a cruise up the Douro River and a visit to the cities of Porto, Coimbra, and Lisbon.  We also heard about the still-thriving cork industry and saw some examples of the use of cork as a fabric.  Terry then took us on a tour of an ancient Hindu civilization ruins in Hamti, South Central India. 
 
We meet again on Tuesday May 17, and John Avery hopes to hear from a volunteer or two who can take a talk for an hour about some of their travels.
