Silkworms - part 3

Eram muitos bichos da seda. Muitos. Centenas? Sim, várias centenas, aliás, conseguimos ultrapassar os 4 digitos! Por fim todos ou quase todos decidiram fazer casulo (alguns não conseguiram lá chegar) e a contagem final é de 800 casulos - mais um menos um - que estão agora prontos a aguardar a fase seguinte: a extracção da seda.

Lots of silk worms. Lots of them. Over one thousand silk worms that we had to feed and take care of until they all made their cocoons. Now we have about 800 silk cocoons waiting for the next stage: the silk extraction.

Middelaldercentret, Denmark

Proud guests in the merchant house

From 24 to 28 of May we went back in time to 1402, this time not in Portugal but in a place we had long dreamed to visit: the Middelaldercentret in Nykøbing Falster, Denmark. The center is a european reference of quality and rigor in medieval living history, and beeing there is not difficult to understand why. Tak to everyone for welcoming us so well, and we are really looking forward to come back to Sundkøbing soon! :) 

I can't easily find the words to describe the experience, so I hope the photos can give an ideia of the wonderfull 4 days living there.
