Alô Portugal!

Yesterday we found out you can never really escape Raincouver. Portugal welcomed us with rain and plenty of culture shock.
We only stayed in Lisbon for one day, but it was beautiful. Plenty of local restaurants, mismatched buildings and cobblestoned streets (which by the way are super slippery when wet). The view from our hotel was lovely (pictured above) however I was still feeling jet lagged and motion sick and sadly didn't take many pictures.



I haven't had the best of luck with the transition here. The first day I had motion sickness, the second I felt ultra jet lagged and today I have a migraine! And of course Mike is totally alright other than the obligatory exhaustion after over 24 hours in airports. However, it was kind of a blessing in disguise as we decided to stay in our hotel for the first day in Cascais and relax and its been splendid. And did I mention, the weather today is beautiful?



We found the nicest restaurant/bakery across the street from our hotel and had an amazing breakfast and picked up these delicious pastries (for €4.50!!!). There was also a supermarket beside it so we bought wine, brie cheese and fig crackers for lunch and enjoyed it all in bed with our patio door open and guilty pleasure worthy TLC shows on TV. Its 18° here and we're definitely about to take advantage of the beach being a 5 minute walk away! 

Hope you guys are having beautiful weather where you are too.
