What a better way than to get this blog going again than by posting some pictures from some of my more recent adventures? One of these days I might actually include some photos from England, Northern Ireland, and the United States, but for now I’ll stick with these. Of course you can find many of these on Facebook (if we’re friends), or on Picasa, but those don’t include the stories! I’m feeling a bit inspired as I shall be journeying to India on Monday for two weeks.
Last November a friend and I went to Lisbon, Portugal for three days-not long enough! It rained almost the entire time and was much colder than we’d expected, but it was absolutely wonderful. The city is a wonderful blend of new and old, much cheaper than London, and free of many of the obnoxious tourists you’d see in a more traveled area such as anywhere in Spain.
Since I’m recovering from some dreadful illness (possibly swine flu, No Joke!), I’ll let the pictures in the gallery do most of the talking (but what about those stories? Suck it up this time and deal!).
The first couple of pictures are from the old quarter of town, which is filled with winding little streets. My friend and I knew there was a castle to be found somewhere, but it took quite a long time to find it. It was sunny before we got to the castle and absolutely pouring by the time we got there. The photo of people with umbrellas pretty much sums up the whole trip.
The next day we were quite busy and ventured to neighboring areas including, Sintra, Cabo da Roca, and Cascais. On our final day we went to Torre de Belém which is absolutely gorgeous. We also partied all night with some folks at our hostel before getting on an early morning flight…but I’ll refrain from posting those photos here.
Stay tuned for photos from Scotland!
