A Whole New World


It was so nice to go back to Portugal with Kyle and meet everybody and tour all the cool things that he got to see without me. It was hard at first because of the time change and everybody only spoke Portuguese but by the end it was kinda fun to just tune everything out and not worry about what is going on or what people are saying. It is EXTREMELY different over there compared to America. For starters....

Bucawhau....ew. All the stores would smell like it and it was gross.

Pastels De Nacas. Kyle's favorite treat there. He got one every chance he could.

All the scenery was different too. Did you know that cork comes from the bark of a Cork Tree?
Castles were everywhere. This is the view of Lisbon from the St. George Castle.

Standing on the outer wall of the Castle.

I loved all the Arch ways they build back in those times.

Down Town Lisbon there is a super old elevator. It was really cool to see it even though we didn't get to go to the top. In this picture you can also see all the cobblestone streets and sidewalks. All I can say is good that its good we have cement. I couldn't stop tripping the whole time we were there.

Us in the main squire in Lisbon. It was a really fun city to see. I'm glad that we had a chance to go back so quickly. Everybody treated us so amazing. We are going to be forever in debt to all the friends that took us in and made their home ours.
