Here are a few pictures of my trip to Portugal in November of last year. A few cities did not get published because I was having issues with my camera battery. Hopefully I'll update the blanks when my friends share their pics with me. If you want to get a map of Portugal out you can get an idea of our travels. Our Trip started in Lisbon. We stayed for 2 nights. The trip started off with me not having luggage for 3 days. Thankfully when my travelmate got her luggage she shared some of her clothes with me. To sum up our trip it was quite eventful. Lost luggage, a side trip down a runaway truck ramp. Couldn't find our hotel because our directions were screwed up. The Hotel was 120km in the wrong direction. Several road trips asking for directions and oh, Marta broke her tooth and ended up using sealing wax to fill the gap. Darla fell down what she thought was a ramp but there was a small step there that she didn't see. She screwed up her knee pretty bad. Thankfully we didn't have to go to the hospital but it made slow going for her. All in all the Portuguese people were jems. They don't look to friendly but they are the nicest people on the planet once you ask the first question. They will also go out of their way to help you out. From Lisbon we went to Sintra,Alcobaca,Obidos,Nazare,Coimbra,Conimbriga,Braga,Bucaco,Luso,Aveiro,Oporto,
Amarante,Pinhao,Sao Joao de Pesqueria,Penedono to Viseu,back through Coimbra then down to Tomar,Baleal,Peniche,Lourinha,Torres Vedras then back to Lisbon. We saw quite a bit on this trip and God surely had us under his wing. By the end of the trip I could manage enough Portuguese to eat, buy stuff and get us going in the right direction.
I hope you enjoy the pictures. Maybe it will encourage you to go on your own trip.
