The tapas of our last four days

Hi all!

We know that it has been a while since the last post, and for that we are sorry. We have a wifi connection here in Barcelona, but no computer. So here is another post care of our iPod. We have gone from Lisbon to Barcelona, and will be on our way to Nice France tomorrow morning (hopefully!) So here are a few highlights from the last four days.

From Portugal
A day spent at Cascais to dip toes in the water, to Cabo da Roca the most western tip of Europe, and the to Sintra to view some amazing houses, castles and gardens (Momma Kapka you would have loved it!)
Ricardo our new friend at the hotel
An attempt at fado (not so successful on that one)
A visit to the Castel St Jorge in Lisbon (beautiful views)
Meeting a mannamed Antonio and his daughter at an antique tile store who talked to us about the history ofPortuguise tile and shared a glass of port wine with us

For Barcelona
Not a good start as the first few people we met were bad - started as a big city full of people with big city attitudes
Finally seeing a bullfight after trying to in two other cities, which was a thing to experience once in you life, and for us, only once
Seeing the houses Gaudi designed
Going to Montserrat for the afternoon
Sleeping in this morning
Finally doing two loads of laundry amidst the fun

Well we hope you enjoyed these small tidbits of our last four days. We should get to bed. Tomorrow is another day to have a ball!

It's good to hear you are safe and doing well. We're thinking about you. I had similiar bullfight experience in Mexico City. Sorry to hear the Barcelonans were snobs. Oh well, keep reaching out. Write more soon.
