Today we visited Obidos which is north of Lisbon.
We had to take the Metro under ground (train)
and a bus to get there. That was an experience.
Glad there was two of us.
The city is surrounded by a high wall of stone,
and every corner had something beautiful to capture
My arm hurts from taking so many pictures with
my heavy camera. The city was a maze cobbled stone
streets. The castle was beautiful.
We absolutely loved it in Óbidos.
Everyone here drives small cars there are no SUV's.
There are also palm trees and pine trees.
I will be describing my first trip to Europe, where we will be going to Portugal. We are going on a Rick Steve's Tour "Heart of Portugal in 12 days". Will be leaving from Traverse City, Michigan and landing in Chicago, then going to Munich for an 8 hour plane ride and then our final destination will be Lisbon, Portugal. We plan on seeing all of the country side of Portugal. We will be visiting Évora, Nazaré, Batalha, Fatima, Alcobaca, Coimbra, Douro Valley and last in Porto.
We are so glad you are having such a wonderful time....love, mom & dad
