Portugal


















We took a bus to Portugal that left at 12.am and got to Portugal 3 hours later. When we arrived we walked around for a bit and stumbled across the most adorable hotel/hostel. The man at the front desk was as sweet as could be and even spoke English! He gave us a room with three beds that had a TV (of course all in Portuguese) and came with free breakfast. No sooner did we walk in our room that we crashed. We were so exhausted! The next day we went to the beach and spent most of the day there. The beach was wonderful. One of my favorite things to do is to lie on the beach in the sun and go for a relaxing swim. The waves though were so high and strong I could not even get half way in without being swept away. Haha We had fun down by the water bracing ourselves as each waves tried to sweep us away. A good workout! The afternoon was low key with a night in town for dinner. Sadly, we were all craving pizza and ended up eating at an Italian restaurant. Hahaha lame I know. We did get Portuguese cheese though for our appetizer! Portugal is beautiful and the people are so nice. Sometimes in Spain we feel like we are looked down upon because we are Americans and people are not friendly to us because of that. In Portugal it was not the case. We were able to catch the gorgeous sunset before returning to our hotel for the evening. We woke up late on Sunday morning grab a delightful breakfast and relaxed in the cutest part of town. Now here we are back “home” again in Seville getting ready to start week number 3. I still cannot get over the fact that we have only been here for two weeks. It seems like forever ago since I have been home. These next four weeks are going to fly by!!!!!
