Alan Doyle and the Gold Plate Medals (2016) in Portugal...

Recently Alan Doyle traveled to Portugal for the Gold Plate Medals which raises money to financially support and celebrate Canada’s Olympic athletes. Alan generously shared his adventures via his official social media accounts of Twitter and Instagram. 

Alan is becoming quite the tourist photographer sharing wonderful photographs via social media, not only of selfies but anything he finds interesting along the way in the places his visits.

As my favourites are always the selfies and the venues he plays, I have included a couple here from this trip including the one where he attempted to tweet in Portuguese. Alan and the other musicians played in some really interesting venues over the week or so including a winery and an old cathedral.

My favourite photographs were of Alan and the musicians playing in an old cathedral, a group photograph of the musicians and a selfie outside the 12th Century Monastery. There are many more wonderful photographs from this trip available on his social media accounts for those interested.
