The city library continues to surprise me. Pleasantly, I might add. Today I found (and borrowed) "The Dairy of a Cavalry Officer 1809-1815, Lt.-Col William Tompkinson" and "Wellington's Lieutenant, Napoleon's Gaoler: Peninsular letters and St. Helena diaries of Sir George Ridout Bingham". :D

heheh, the first night out from Coimbra is their first time they have to bivouac (no billets) and they unpack all their nifty gadgets they brought from home... and nothing really works! It's so funny! AND they could not get a wink of sleep that night because the frogs were croaking so loud... REAL frogs, not French ones!
