Day7

Day  7 can't believe a week has gone by. I think these 3 months is going to fly by and you have to pick and choose in each country the things you want to do in order get a good feel for the country.

We really felt Portugal and are having a down day before leaving tomorrow for Spain and Possibly Gelbraltar. Hard to believe that Morrocco is a 4 hour ferry ride from here and you r in Africa. Another trip, we have loved Portugal and its people......

Here's a little idea of the citrus here. Fishing boat was from Portimao harbour yesterdays beach.

Day 5

What didn't we do today. Our favourite place so far, incredibly beautiful village of Silves where we shared birthday cake and great Portuegese coffee called 'bika'(?).

Then went to Maria' favorite place called Salema (close 2nd for Sandy). Georgeous, natural fishing village.

Lagos - most spectacular views yet, epitomizes what one thinks of Portugal.

Day 4

Albufeira, Portugal

More touristy but a great home base at Elizabeth' condo with a gourgeous view of town/bay.

Day 3

Went to a sacred site that dates before Egyptian times. The picture posted is the Moon temple (masculine energy) - the other, called the Sun temple (feminine) the energy felt there was incredible as well ws the hike through the forest to get there.

Sad to be leaving the area and our friend Marillia, an area that deserves much more time to explore and enjoy - we'll be back.
Leave for the south of Portugal - the Algarve in our funky Peugeout Partner.

Day 2

ps Last day we visited the continents most westerly point (NW of Lisbon)

Town of Sintra and area - saw a Moorish castle dating from 9th century and Palace de Pena (mid 1800's fantasial creation. The villages in the surrounding area of Lisbon are beautiful and quaint, the people have a beautiful energy about them - 1st and foremost our host Marillia.

Day1

Access to hot spots tenuous so our downloads will be sporadic.
Lisbon -Geronimos Monastery world heritage site (500 yrs old) beyond beautiful, minutes after getting off the plane.
