Entry 90
Written 24 May 2020 at 10:02am, Sunday: Walking downhill, down a street. To my right I go into a cabin/motel room. I stash my bag inside. I go back out to keep exploring, walking downhill.

After a late afternoon nap: I was walking around in the town of Messines-Alte, in Alentejo, Portugal. It’s daytime.
