View from Convento de Cristo once a Templar stronghold

 OK, so that last entry where I said upgrading to orange zone from red would mean I could leave the "community"?   Well not so much.  It just means shops can open and we can travel around without our auto-certificates that explain why we are out and about.  So still no seeing anyone except GP, MIL and one little girl and her family.  Said little girl has been my student for over a year, starting before COVID.  I tutor her in Literacy and English.  This is the student I mentioned in an earlier post.  Every weekday I walk back and forth to their place which is about 40 minutes from here and gives me both exercise and time outside.  They are a true "modern family" as she's being raised by her grandfather, his wife, various his, hers and theirs young adult children and partners, an old granny that belongs to someone, a housekeeper, a couple of nannies or babysitters, (one at a time), a giant lab and the tiniest chihuahua I've ever seen.  By American standards their home is not that large but it seems to have endless rooms and entrances and I never know where people are popping in from.  I think at one time it may have been the stables and livery quarters for the enormous villa behind it.  I don't actually have anything to do with all these people apart from the little girl and her grandfather but I see the others passing by windows and going in and out of doorways on one of the attached ells.  This walk is often the highlight of my day and I'm p'd that it looks like a long stretch of rain coming up!  I DO NOT like walking in the rain.  Here are some pics from today's outing.
