Are there ennyone who think it is a great idea to make a kind of gathering in Porto in that period ? I'm sure my friends living in this aeria is happy to see me and all other woopian who is able to come. I plan to stay for a period of 2-3 weeks. Ennyone who know a nice place to stay? Maybe some of us can rent a house/flat together, so we do not have to live all over the town  Ennyone who have some good idea abouth it? Happy to hear if ennyone have some good idea

Hi, Willy! I'm glad you are coming to my country (I hope you mean Portugal, not Protogal )) next summer. Should I have room enough for you, Kambrosis and others... unfortunately I have not . Anyway, it's something I can have a look for. The best for me to have a few free time to share with you both (and all others who will come) is the month of July (in August I'm on holidays and generally I'm away, at least for 2 or 3 weeks). Let us see how many people would like to come and if the period is coincident. Besides, I think we could organize another Woophy Meeting like the one at Aveiro last May, in a weekend (17/18 July, for instance), for all those who have a short time to stay over here. Ok, why not here, in this Forum topic, the previous enlistment? All the best and a great 2010! Miguel

August? A bad month, me thinks. Il tutto Portugallo is away on vacation, even if they have to beg, borrow or steal the money. Except me, of course. I don't do vacations. I wish you luck!

I will be glad with this encounter. But I think that August is a bad month. So, I agree with SJS. I´ll try of course to be in Aveiro or in another place to see you, Javier and others. But re-think August... And I agree with Miguel - we may organize another meeting in May, for instance, like we had done last year in Aveiro!!! I´m (and Miguel surely...) waiting your suggestions.

Eu proponho em Maio e na Adega Cooperativa de Sanfins do Douro. Bendito vinho Tinto. Os investigadores continuam a estudar a acção anti-oxidante de substâncias presentes nas uvas tintas e a obter resultados surpreendentes nas seguintes áreas: . envelhecimento cardíaco . alzheimer . cancro da próstata . mau colesterol . pedras nos rins . artríte reumatóide . alergia às flores

Willy, Paulo is joking with ... the portuguese wine )). As SJS and Teresa say, August is not the best to come. Not for the prices (SJS thinks of the Algarve where the prices really increase in August, but not in the north), but because the local inhabitants go on holidays, the cities are almost empty and business is almost stopped. Anyway, better August than in winter on account of the weather . If you could come on July it should be the best. Oh, if I guess which Alves family you are talking about, let me say that they live 155kms (1h40m) away (south) from Porto . Only to your knowledge. But they are really great people! [Teresa, the Meeting should be held in the same weeks of Willy and Javí's stay with us, I think ] Anyone else to come?

Hello everybody! Have a great 2010!
Well, seeing your advices, certainly we must reconsider the dates.
May be last days of May or fist of June? (remember Jan and Trudy are organizing a W. week- end at Alkmaar 11th and 12th of June. -two birth with one stone, for me, he he -).
Anyway, not easy to coordinate this long trip for me... (job holidays, money, etc)
... and now, I have more reasons to come to Portugal... I need a therapy for prevent envelhecimento cardíaco,. alzheimer, cancro da próstata, . mau colesterol,. pedras nos rins . artríte reumatóide,. alergia às flores e outras coisas. 
Hugs
Javier
