Hi,
  Just wanted to give expats the heads up on a Napoleonic battle being refought
at the Portuguese town of Amarante, a little north east of Oporto - this weekend
namely the 18th & 19th April 2009.
  The latest in a series of Napoleonic battles being re-fought across Portugal
and Spain on the occasion of the 200 anniversary of the Peninsular Wars from
1807 to 1814.
  I could go into details but would refer you to an excellent forum blog called
Back to the Napoleonic Wars.
