St. Patrick’s Day in Lisbon
Today takes us back to Lisbon. Last time we were here we walked from the bus station to the airport. I’m sure today will be much more enjoyable. Ha! Our first two stops are the impressive Jerónimos Monastery and the famous pastry shop next door. The pastry is a tart...
Bye bye Island Life
We had four fabulous days here in the Azores. San Miguel Island to be precise. We have a bit of time left before our plane takes off so we hit the streets and see what the city we are staying in, Porto Delgado, has to offer. First though, we need some sustenance....
Everything’s going our way
24 hours later and the winds of karma have shifted and things are working effortlessly today. Off to get that hike in and we’re doing the hike around Lagoa das Furnas. Skies are clear, driving was easy, first row parking and we are the only ones in sight! Each one of...
It all works out in the end.
How our day started…
Adventure in the Azores
Starting early today. So much to do that we’re at the trail head by 8:45am. Fortunately the forecast says the rain is done for the day. As we roll into the parking lot with just one other car we can’t help but notice the clouds lingering at the top of the hill. We...
The Longest Day

Cross Country Walk

Gibraltar is hollow?
Time to go explore Europe’s Rock. Gibraltar I’ve always have been intrigued by this Overseas British Territory. Just on the edge of Spain, dipping into the Med. Why is it there? Will it be like visiting the UK? The hotel we’re staying at is right next door to the bus...
Hercules? Pigs? Water?
It is our last day in Morocco; Tangier to be exact, and we are excited to see the rest of what this area has to offer and then to venture onto our next country. It was a full day! A big highlight here at the northern tip of Morocco is seeing where the Atlantic Ocean...
