Portugal, Part 1

Cloister in Monestary.

This is the other bridge to get into Lisbon. One is to enter from the North and the other from the South. This one they made when they had the World Expo.

Nico and Samuel in the hotel pool.

Our hotel was in a neighboring town called Setubal and this is a beautiful National Park that is there. It was super windy the day we went to we took pics and left.

If you look carefully in the middle there is a white spot that is a dome that is part of a convent that is in the middle of the park. What a location.

The tram in Lisbon, it is a very hilly city with steep inclines.

Nico through a tree outside castle San Jorge.

The castle.

Views of Lisbon.

I didn´t go up on the roof but Samuel and Nicolas did and he decided it was very dangerous. As you can see here the side is about ankle high and the drop is huge.

Eating lunch on the way home in Merida. It was hot as you can see on the sign above Samuel´s head it was about 103ºF with a hot African wind.

In Riaza with friends.

Getting ready for the feast.

Ice cream.

Baby love or is it obsession for Nico.

Emily, Chloe, Nico and Ljupka.

Nico and Chloe.

Nico watering everything in Pardilla.
And of course on Uncle Vicen´s tractor.

Samuel Turned into Harry Potter

Here is Samuel, also known as Harry Potter now with his stitches. It´s a little hard to believe this was done by another man´s head.

Alicante in June

In a park in a neighboring town.

Snoozing a little in preparation for the beach.

On the beach. Nico doesn´t like the waves so much.
He is definitly a pool boy.
