Portugal!

Portugal was another place that I was really hoping to get to go to, and last weekend we went! It was less than an hour drive, and we were in another country. It's incredible that there isn't border control, or a toll you have to pay, or anything. It's just one minute you're in Spain, and the next minute you're in Portugal. It's really a beautiful country, very tranquil due mostly to the fact that the Portuguese aren't as loud and talkative like the Spanish are. There's a softer hum in the air.

Portuguese is a beautiful language, but it's really not as similar to Spanish as I thought. I could only understand a few words when I heard people speaking Portuguese. For example, "Gracias" is "Obrigado." Really not too much similarity there! But everyone in Portugal basically knows Spanish, so a lot of Spaniards vacation there.

Here's the pictures:

The national symbol of Portugal is a rooster

The ice cream selection :)

There was even a double rainbow while we were there!!

Every single chimney is different in Portugal
