sight seeing in Lisboa...

Here are some photos of our day spent in Lisboa with captions by the one and only, Monica. :) I hope you enjoy!!!

Such a good looking group soaking up the sun and the goregous structure of the monastery. (Jeronomias)



Kaitlin and Leilani posing for a picture on the plaza near a monument.




After walking and walking, we took a quick seat with the fountain mist blowing on us before hopping down for ...yep..more walking.



Viki and Monica stopping to smile for the camera at our visit to the monastery.




Our instructors wishing it was the night of the ball, and there were a lot of carriages to chose from at the Cinderalla Carriage muesum.





The custard was sweet at the old sugar refinery that is famous in Lisboa, but not as sweet as our waiter was on Alisha.






A bird's eye view of Lisbon.










Something about forcing Christianity on the people of the new world but also discovering a lot along the way, like how the world is round. Beautiful and Giant, it was constructed in the 1960s and is 267 steps to the chilling top.







Debbie, who has a lot of resouces and information and is happy to share with us, was giving a quick lesson about the Discoveries Monument. Obviously we are soaking it in.



All smiles..... Kaitlin, Violet, Alisha and Monica














Driving away from the monastery with a great view of the day ahead.





Thanks Monica for your humorous comments! We had a lovely day in the city of Lisboa and we are very much looking forward to our day in Sintra tomorrow!!!

after almost 24hrs of traveling....

We have arrived safely to Calavarcas, Portugal which will serve as our home base for the next couple of days. We are exhausted but yet ready for the adventures that lie ahead. After missing our night of rest due to the change in time we tried to rest as best we could whenever possible, including the airport.

After arriving to our hotel the girls decided to take a walk on the beach and celebrate, for many, what was their first encounter with the Atlantic Ocean. Here are some pictures from our beach visit:
