Funeral de bombeiro de São Mamede de Infesta realiza-se esta quarta-feira

O funeral do bombeiro de São Mamede de Infesta que morreu no domingo no combate ao incêndio em Oliveira de Azeméis, no distrito de Aveiro, vai ter lugar esta quarta-feira, informou a corporação.

Nas redes sociais, os Bombeiros de São Mamede de Infesta referem que o corpo de João Silva está em câmara ardente, com guarda de honra no quartel daquela corporação do concelho de Matosinhos, no distrito do Porto.

A missa de corpo presente terá lugar esta quarta-feira, pelas 16h00, no mesmo local e daí o corpo do bombeiro será transportado para o Tanatório de Sendim, Matosinhos, acrescenta a corporação.

João Silva, conhecido como o "30", morreu no domingo vítima de morte súbita, na pausa para refeição no combate que travava contra o incêndio na freguesia de Pinheiro da Bemposta, concelho de Oliveira de Azeméis, no distrito de Aveiro.

O bombeiro ainda foi assistido no local por uma equipa do Instituto Nacional de Emergência Médica, mas acabou por não resistir.

No mesmo dia, a ministra da Administração Interna e a sua equipa prestaram-lhe uma homenagem, considerando-o um “exemplo nacional de alguém que deu a vida pelo próximo”.

Learning to Walk 16

Sunny skies and a great diversion!

CAMINHO PORTUGUÊS – Santa Maria da Feira (37,332 STEPS – 28.24 KMS – 17.54 MILES) Sunny Skies! When I woke this morning, I noticed two things: 1) I didn’t freeze to death overnight, and 2) There were rays of sunshine peeking through the window shades! Thank goodness! Yesterday was super-soggy and it was still raining when I went to sleep. The 1.5-kilometer walk back up to Pinheiro da Bemposta…

Day  15 –  Albergaria-a-Nova to São João da Madeira – 22 km

It had to happen. Today, like the last two days I prepared for a rainy day, took care of my blisters and rubbed Vaseline all over my feet. It was pouring when I got up, so I had breakfast, waited and waited and the rain did not let up. At 8:00 I started to walk in the rain. Within minutes, I was soaked. My Tilley hat was saturated and leaked, my backpack cover was so wet that it collected water on the inside of the cover, my shorts were soaked and sticking to me, and my shoes and socks soaked up water like sponge after having to walk through ankle deep water numerous times. Just after 10:00 the rain stopped. Shortly thereafter, I stopped for a coffee. After my coffee I got up from my chair and there was a big puddle of water under my chair. I assured everyone that it was just water running from my clothes.

I walked the rest of the day in wet socks and boots. That really sucked.

I am not a horticulturalist, but I understand that this plant is called "Pope's Balls".

The highlight of the day was Pinheiro da Bemposta, a village with history dating back to the 1100s. Amazing historic structures included the Cruzeiro do Pinheiro da Bemposta dating from 1604, 18th century Casa dos Arcos, as well as other 18th century buildings.

The negative part of the day's walk was the fact that I had to walk on pavement and stone paths all day long.

After having a shower and cleaning up, I indulged in a cultural event and visited the shoe and hat museums in São João da Madeira. Later I enjoyed a very good dinner with other pilgrims, at Tudo Aos Molos, near Saint Antonio church.

My stay last night was at Albergue Albergaria-a-Nova. It was clean and offered private rooms. Beds had cotton sheets and blankets. It offered a self-service bar and snacks and had a nice outdoor area where pilgrims socialized and laughed until the wine was gone. For hot days, there was a pool, as well. Recommended.
