Portugal Day, the 10 June




Ok, this journal is not about Paradise, or it is, eheh.

Tomorrow its Day of Camões. So its a national day, a day out of work, but a day to be proud of too.

'Luis Vaz de Camões is considered Portugal's greatest poet. His mastery of verse has been compared to that of Shakespeare, Homer, Virgil, and Dante. He wrote a considerable amount of lyrical poetry (in Portuguese and in Spanish) and drama but is best remembered for his epic work Os Lusíadas.' (source: wikipedia)

'Os Lusíadas, usually translated as The Lusiads, is a Portuguese epic poem by Luís Vaz de Camões (sometimes anglicized as Camoens).

Written in Homeric fashion, the poem focuses mainly on a fantastical interpretation of the Portuguese voyages of discovery during the 15th and 16th centuries. Os Lusíadas is often regarded as Portugal's national epic, much in the way as Virgil's Aeneid was for the Ancient Romans, as well as Homer's Iliad and Odyssey for the Ancient Greeks. It was first printed in 1572, three years after the author returned from the Indies.' (source: wikipedia)

So, the features will be about my country, eheh, i made a search and choose some pretty ones, be sure to check them, my country has a big History, a lot of monuments and such beatiful places.

Motto of travel guide writers:
I think the man who wrote it has actually been to Turkey, which helps
- say Will Thacker in Notting Hill :)
