Visit to CT

Last thursday I received a phone call from EA1DK, Fernado told me he had been QSOing with CT2JTZ Thierry who is Telecomunication Engineer(like me) is keen on mirandese language(me in leonese, both are same languages with different local names)
It was a big coincidence because I had planned to travel to Braganza next day just few km away from Thierry, so I decided to find out info about him and visited him.
I arrived Thierry's town on Friday afternoon and I met him! He was surprised for the visit. We spent a nice Friday with him, he show us his town, the petroglyphs, even invite us for dinner at his home(tks to his mother)
Next day 22 I hope to visit him again.
Here is a photo from my visit:

Thanks to Werner for his correction.
