4th of July Pt. 3: Retractions Are Patriotic

(Pt.1) (Pt.2)

In the previous post, I refer (a bit derisively even) to Coimbra, Portugal as "one little town."

It is in fact a quite sizable metropolis for Portugal, with almost 150,000 souls in the greater Coimbra metropolitan area. It's a former capital of Portugal, back during their grand dynastic days, and is positively chock with archaeological treasures, historical significance, and human interest.

To the proud inhabitants of this noble and pleasant-seeming burg, I apologize for my ignorant mischaracterization of your important and considerable municipality.
