Streets in Sintra and beautiful sidewalk mosaics.

Lunch and of course Portugese beer

I am in love with all these tiles. They would make such pretty quilts. I also like the two fisted wine drinker picture of Tom! It looks the weather is prety nice there, although windy. When do you go on the river cruise?
ReplyDeleteWow, your pics are great, Mom! What an adventure! So glad you included all those cute cities and towns on your itinerary!
ReplyDeleteYou are taking in so much of Portugal and there's more to come! I don't remember the pena palace but it was 1978 when I was there. Such fabulous photos...you are so lucky to be there at this time of year. Adeus and bon voyage!
