and now back to Portugal

Now that I have an abuncance of free time on my hands, thought I'd get back to posting more pics from Portugal.

When we left Lisbon, we headed almost due west to the town of Sintra, a little jewel of a town with a funky castle tucked into the hills about half an hour from the Atlantic coast.

This being our first real trip together, Nathan and I were happy to validate that we're both museum people. We stopped for a hot lunch, and poked around the town a bit. I suspected Nathan was more tired than he let on, this being day one after the marathon.




It was in Sintra that we discovered that people can and do make just about anything out of cork.
