“Au bord du Tage” a 8 ans aujourd'hui ! Tout cela n’a pas fini de vivre. Je travaille à un livre de photographies au plus proche de mon expérience singulière du Tage, de Lisbonne et des villes traversées.

MONUMENT TO THE DISCOVERIES, LISBON, PORTUGAL (October 26, 2017) Our city tour of Lisbon took first to Padrão dos Descobrimentos or the Monument to the Discoveries, which celebrates the Portuguese Age of Exploration during the 15th and 16th centuries. Situated along the river where ships departed to trade with India and the Orient, the monument represents a small sailing ship constructed by the Portuguese to explore the Atlantic Ocean. Leading the vessel is Prince Henry the Navigator, and behind him are other great Portuguese voyagers. At the foot of the monument is a magnificent marble mosaic of a compass with a world map in its center. I immediately located the Philippines in the map; after all, we were discovered by Portuguese explorer, Ferdinand Magellan. Next stop, the BELEM TOWER.

Almourol Castle - Portugal

A Castle on a small river "island" near where the rivers Tejo (tagus) and Zêzere unite.

It is believed that this area was inhabited since pre-historical times, and continued so during the Roman occupation. After the 3º century it was occupied by the Alans, the Visigoths and then the Muslims.

It was then conquered in 1129 by the Portuguese as they were retaking (reconquering) the territory from the Muslim forces, during the period known as “Reconquista”. It was then given to the Templar Order, that was charged to protect the area between the Mondego river and the Tejo River and protect the then capital, Coimbra.

During this time the Templars reconstructed the Castle to be as we see it today.

Tagus river ends its course in Lisbon after crossing half of Iberian Peninsula.

It offers some beautiful panoramas from the city that are well know from visitors, namely from the many streets and gazebos. On the other hand, you don’t see so often images from the south side of the river to the city. In Almada, on the south side, you can still find islands of nature with pasture, vineyards and woods providing unmissable views.

Most people believe that the city of Barreiro is, probably, one of the most uninteresting places on Earth. But those people have never visited the Alburrica Windmills, built circa 1852 in the Alburrica Beach (in the mouth of River Tagus).

I love windmills - and, obviously, I quinda like this place, despite having visited it during an extremely gloomy day.

Sharpe's Command comes out tomorrow (although it's already been seen on shelves at bookstores in the UK) and my copy comes next week but UGHHH I am FROTHING at the MOUTH at all the ideas of things that could happen in this book that i'm both excited to think about and also DON'T want to think about bc I really, really don't want to get my hopes up and be disappointed. But anyways I can't help myself so, based off the synopsis: We know that it's set in May, just after Badajoz, at Almaraz- there's a strategic crossing of the Tagus there that the French are holding. However, Almaraz is a two hour walk from Casatejada where Teresa's home is!!!!!!! And we KNOW Teresa is in the book. But this begs the question: is Sharpe escorting her and their daughter north to Casatejada? It's been less than a month since the siege of Badajoz, and Teresa and Antonia left the city with him and are with him at the end of the book. It's more likely that she's probably left with her men and she meets Sharpe when he marches north to said location, and her partisans have been scouting the area and skirmishing, and also know the alternate roads to bypass the French and the fortress. So at some point surely he must visit Casatejada and see Antonia!!!! But also I do love the idea of Sharpe escorting them bc he so desperately wants to spend time with his new baby and wife...he loves Antonia so much...he wants them to be safe ;w; Or, alternatively, though I know it's the less likely of the two, there's the nice idea of where he's escorting Teresa and Antonia with her partisans and it's Ramon who comes to greet them and give news- after all, we know Ramon took over for Teresa when she was in Badajoz for 16 months. He'd be SO excited to see Teresa and Sharpe again and meet his niece!! A little family reunion- also oh yeah, the French are blockading the main road, etc. Also just imagine Ramon being like "RICHARD I HAVE KILLED MANY FRENCH WITH MY RIFLE THANK YOU!! :D" bc he LOVES that rifle and now he has a BROTHER IN LAW!!! AND A NIECE!! Anyways. There is a lot of potential for interactions and characters and god. I shouldn't get my hopes up. I am very seriously downplaying my hopes bc this is a book that could, and I hope, have a decent amount of scenes with Teresa being a partisan in it in the books. We see it only in bits and pieces in Company and Enemy, and in Gold she's more of a hostage turned ally than anything. Please Corndog. Please give us juicy Teresa content. PLEASE give us Teresa fighting and being cool like she is in the films PLEASE! ALSO PLEASE LET SHARPE BE WITH HIS DAUGHTER MORE WE ONLY GET THAT SNIPPET AT THE END OF SWORD AND A BRIEF MENTION IN SKIRMISH AND ENEMY....PLEASE...I'M BEGGING...don't just give us three pages of her and Antonia...a girl can dream 🙏🙏🙏

#(this has been Kiran's Sharpe's Command Predictions and Wishful Thinking) #(also I will be posting spoilers of the book and most will be related to Teresa ofc so if you want to avoid spoilers) #(i would blacklist ;kiran reads sharpe's command #(also i didnt realize it would be set in Almaraz until I saw it yesterday and I went to look it up) #(and it turns out i had already looked up the location on google maps before and i was like ???) #(turns out I had already read about Almaraz before bc it's a location someone mentions going through in one of my historical accounts books #(where iirc two spaniards are fleeing madrid after the dos de mayo and take a shortcut through almaraz #(which ofc makes sense as its one of the only river crossings over the tagus for miles around) #(so imagine my surprise when i realized i had already researched this and forgot LOL)
