Spain - SEVILLE

Ahhhh - back in Spain!!! Seville really is one of the most beautiful cities we have ever seen - a definite must-see! The cathedral of Seville is the largest of all Roman Catholic cathedrals... Supposedly it took 100 years to build - which I can believe with the amount of detail, it was gorgeous. We walked up the "giralda" (bell tower) and saw beautiful views of the city, including the bull fighting pen (below).
A great way to finish off our trip to Portugal & Spain:)

Portugal - THE ALGARVE

The Algarve was beautiful! We stayed in Lagos for 6 nights...with a nice boardwalk, small streets full of restaurants and bars and a quaint yet bustling atmosphere.We found it seemed less touristy than Albufeira (which we visited for no more than a 1/2 day). We were really happy we rented a car, which allowed us to get off the beaten path and go to nicer, quieter beaches and towns along the Algarve.

Portugal - LISBON

Another fantastic trip - once again, Jeremy planned the whole thing, and it was a success! We went to Lisbon for 3 nights...

did a short day trip to Bélem...

climbed the old moorish castle (nice view!!) ...shopped...

tried to not get hit by a car...



and really just walked, toured, and ENJOYED.

Let's get started!

Can't wait to start our ladies wine tasting club... since it is a bit short notice for this Tuesday - we will start at my place on Tuesday the 20th with SPAIN! Looking forward to it.

Summer 2005 - Trip to the East Coast

How could I not post our trip out East? It was great - but 10 days was not enough, we never even made it to Nova Scotia :(

But, PEI and New Brunswick were beautiful.. What was supposed to be a camping trip turned into luxury cottages in Cavendish and St. Andrews... I was quite content to say the least! We golfed, ate fresh lobster, went to the beach, hiked in Fundy National Park, toured around, ate great food - a really wonderful road trip. I am now a firm believer that people have not really seen Canada until they have been to the east and west coasts!
