Lisbon, Portugal

It has been a long time since our last post, so sorry! The reason is partly because we were gone on our vacation to Portugal and partly because I have been too lazy to upload the pictures :-).

So, just Paul and I (Kennedy stayed with my parents for the first 5 nights and Paul's parents for the last 5 nights) headed to Lisbon on Saturday, July 24. The reason for our trip - Connie Borba, a good friend of mine from college, and Javi Cabrera's wedding! They were getting married in the Azores on July 31st, so we decided to leave a few days early to experience Lisbon and are so glad we did. This city is awesome; it's beautiful, historical and full of life. Here are some pictures from our 3 days there.

A lot of the houses have tile on them - I love it!

View of the city from the Castle of Sao Jorge.

I got a Shiatsu massage at the castle...so nice!

The outdoor restaurants; just a step outside our Bed & Breakfast.

View from our room Zuza Bed & Breakfast.

Estoril, a beach town about 30 minutes outside of Lisbon.

Cascais, another beach town just outside of Lisbon. It was very nice, but the water was freezing!

Curt Jorritsma joined us in Lisbon; taking one of many beer breaks....love vacation!

Trying to figure out the "hop-on/hop-off" tour schedule. It took us SOOO long to catch up with a bus.

The three of us after a romantic dinner across the water from Lisbon :-). The restaurant had a beautiful view of the city.
