P O R T U G A L

Cathedral de Se in Lisbon.
Hilary and I went to Lisbon in April 2010.
The city is bigger than it seems, it has over 2 million people.
 Tram #28 takes you to all the best spots.
Hilary in Lisbon! We rented a moped for the day, which is why we are carrying around helmets.
Belem.
We went to a town called Sintra. The palace there was used by the King and Queen of Portugal.
The palace is surrounded by beautiful gardens and nature areas.
We then traveled to the WESTERNMOST point in Europe: Cabo Da Roca.
Hilary on the beach, the Atlantic ocean:
We tried a famous liquor the people of Portugal like, Gihng Ging, (prob. spelled wrong), pronounced "Jing Jing".
Portugal was great. We stayed in the Smile Hostal, a great value for 14 euros a night.
Good Trip! (minus getting a fever)
Lisbon was one of my favorites in Europe,  can't get enough of those cobblestone streets!
