Lisbon

A couple pictures from our day trip to Lisbon- my FAVOURITE city in the world!



































This is Di'a picture... 3 months later and i'm starting to appreciate it!






































Diana finally appreciates my favourite strip in downtown Lisbon! (I don't think she's ever purchased anything from a street vendor before!)





































The entrance to the Vasco de Gama center.. perhaps the greatest shopping mall in the world...





















Me and my purchases waiting for the train!

more Sintra pics

Di, Ines and i- after the 2 hour hike up the old ruin's stairs















The georgeous palace that we weren't supposed to get into.. th eline for tickets was something like 2 hours.. but the nice man at the gate let us in without them!































































































































This little bakery is part of my ongoing portugese pastery tour.. quite tasty but i think Belem still holds the "best portugese pastry" title..



















These are some people i don't know. but the picture sure turned out well!

Portugal

Well- better late then never right? after about two months of careful deliberation i've narrowed my 850 potugal pictures to... well.. somthing less that 850!















Yummy barbequed sardinhas! And the trick to picking the fresh ones? make sure they're still bleeding. (words of wisdom from a little old potugese lady at the market)
















This is Diana's stomache. sure- it looks calm and serene on the outside.. but after a half a bottle of wine and a whole wheel of cheese it's not so happy on the inside. On top of it is the "natural" laxative she sent us out for!




















My cousin Ines chillin' on the Beach. In Portugal for a total of 3 weeks, and we got to spend over 2 on the beaches of the Algarve!!!!















Don't i look like i've been super-imposed on top of this picture? was i really even there?

Diana and I enjoying our nightly cappucino at bar 42 in the Algarve... so yummy.

Valter (Ines boyfriend), myself, Diana and Ines enjoying a deliciously girly cocktail with super long straws.

The Beautiful scenery of the first beach we hit in the algarve (Lagos)

These are some pictures from our day trip to Sintra. It was beautiful- but tons of walking.. we hiked up like 1.5 hours worth of old stairs to get to the top- but the view was worth it! (interesting tid bit- you could also see the house where they filmed the Ninth Gate.. probably the closest i'll ever get to Johnny Depp)
