Portugal!


I can’t believe we have already made it to our last country.  Portugal is beautiful.  The Atlantic ocean is SO different than the Mediterranean.  We are staying in the town called Cascais, and it is awesome.  There are little streets with shops and food and it is just a great place to walk around.  When we booked our place here, we just found a really cheap place in Caiscais, so we booked it and when we got here we were like… oopsies;) It is 6 miles away from ANYTHING, including a supermarket, but still considered in Cascais.  It is so funny.  It is also for honeymooners. Awesome.  But it is BEAUTIFUL and right on a beach.  And it worked out perfect because there is a beautiful path right along the ocean the entire 6 miles to town, so we just get up and walk every morning for about 2 hours to town.  It is a beautiful walk, and there are really cool benches on cliffs, so it looks like we are sitting on the ocean, and if it is nice outside we will pull over on a bench and read for a while and then continue.  My life is pretty great right now.  The town is awesome and the people are so nice.  The thing to eat here is cod fish.  We ate a Portuguese meal Tuesday and it wasn’t my favorite, but it was still pretty good.  They eat a lot of fish and potatoes in olive oil.  I would definitely recommend Portugal though, it is amazing and beautiful!!  We made some friends at the mall who work at the movie theater (cool, I know) and we got FREE tickets to Twilight- so yes, we saw Twilight in Portugal.  We got there VERY early to get a good seat, and we ended up being the ONLY ones in the theater.  Twilight is not a hit here. Dang.  Cool way to end a post, on twilight.
