Portugal!

So this last weekend we had our travel weekend and I went with some girls to Lisbon (Lisboa), Portugal, where Aunt Hillary and Uncle Daryn served! It was a lot of fun! Lisbon is a beautiful place and full of color. The fiance of a girl in our group is studying in Portugal right now, so he was able to help us out and show us around which was really nice. He also arranged for us to stay in a flat of a senior missionary couple, and they were so sweet to us! Elder and Sister Lund made us breakfast and dinner every night, and were a lot of fun to talk to. Here are some of the things that we did while we were there...

This is the Castillo de Los Moros (Moorish Castle) in Sitra, which is just a little bit outside of Lisbon.

Here is the view from the castle!

This was one of my favorite places that we visited. It is right next to the castle and it is called the Palacio Nacional de Pena (Pena National Palace). It is a beautiful palace with a lot of fun colors and mosaic tiles.

Cool tiles on the Palace.

We rode the metro and buses while we were there, but we also took this cable care that was sweet!

Taylor took us to a famous pastry place in Lisbon called Pasteis de Belem.

Here are the Pasteis de Belem!!! They were very yummy.

This is the Mosteiro dos Jeronimos-a really cool monastery. Vasco da Gama the Portuguese explorer and Luis de Camoes a famous Portuguese poet are buried there.

We went to a cool Modern art gallery called the Museu Coleccao Berardo and there were some great things there! This is piece by an artist that I like, Anish Kapoor!

My good friend Liechtenstein. It is a mirror...or is it?

Here is a cool Andy Warhol piece of Judy Garland.

This is a tower by the river called the Torre de Belem. It is really pretty and had a beautiful view from the top. These are all the girls in the group that I went with-Kendal, Camilia, Katie, Lisa, Kinsey and Alison!

A cool cathedral-me, Lisa, Kendal, Alison.

We ate a traditional Portuguese meal at a restaurant-this is fried fish and potatoes and onions. It was yummy!
