Olá Portugal

Lagos, Portugal was absolutely gorgeous! I had the most amazing weekend. My only disappointment is the lack of a stamp in my passport!! On Friday we went to Praia (which means beach in Portuguese) Don Ana, which is like what is on every postcard. Everyone was cliff jumping and enjoying the sunshine. I was a little too chicken to cliff jump which automatically made me the professional photographer but that didn't last long.

My friends convinced me there was no way I came all this way to not go all out. So I decided it was my turn. The water was a little chilly and the rock quite sharp. When I got to the top I was just staring down not sure if I could do it but then they counted down and there was no going back! It was sooooo worth it and I had such a good time!

Here is a picture from above to the gorgeous beach. We returned to this beach on Sunday since we loved it so much. On Sunday was much more relaxing and soaking up the sun. The tide was too low for more cliff jumping that day so good thing I got it in before.

My first bottle of Vino Verde in Portugal!! It was superb!

This is the boat we took out on a Sangria cruise. We went swimming and took a tour through the grottos as well.

As you can see the grottos were gorgeous. Each one has it's own name given by the fisherman. 

On Saturday night we drove out to "the end of the world". This is where centuries ago they thought the world ended. The wind was whipping and it was quite cold. We sat down and enjoyed the sunset. This was definitely a moment that I will never forget. I have some of the best company here and they made every moment so amazing!

Watching the sunset with the crazy wind.

Afterwards we made a delicious dinner together in our gorgeous four star hotel. It was the first time cooking in weeks and I was sooooo excited! Pasta, wine, and salad was incredible. I was sad to leave Portugal but before heading out I got a linguisa sandwich and Portuguese donuts... I have to admit they were not as good as mom's but they were still pretty great.
