Hello, and welcome to a brand new week. Last Friday my sister, Jeanne and I headed 2 hrs. South to visit two of our older sisters and a friend.
We made fun projects, played cards and dice games to wee hours in the morning, ate like queens, and laughed till our sides hurt. A couple of times some of us, (not to mention any names) had to run quickly into the potty because they were laughing so hard.
I took lots of pics to share with you. But, guess who had a senior moment and left her camera at her sisters? Yup, you got that one right.
As many of you know last month we took a trip to Spain and Portugal. It was a wonderful vacation and I still have lots of pictures that I haven’t shared. I thought I would show you a little of beautiful Portugal.
Ten things I loved about Portugal:
1. Clotheslines hanging across the windows.
2. Amazing tile work on the buildings.
3. Views high up in the sky.
4. Hilltops just waiting to be explored.
4. Gigantic Hydrangea blossoms.
5. Breathtaking Castles.
6. Points that felt like you were at the end of the earth!
7. Places that look like they stepped right out of a picture book.
8. Towers beaconing to be climbed.
9. A church filled with gold.
10. A wall covered in little glass sparrows.
And what took us to all of these wonderful places? This sweet little turquoise VW van of our daughter and sil. They bought it to tour Europe this summer.
Now that’s living life to the fullest, don’t you think?
hugs,
Jann

Hi Jann,

Hubby & I actually visited Portugal about 4 years ago - but we went to the Azores Islands instead of the mainland - it was wonderful! It looks like you saw so many great places!
Portugal seems like a wonderful place. The architecture there is amazing.
Looks like a perfect vacation!! Beautiful pictures and your mode of transportation is the best!!~~Angela
What a wonderful time! So glad you are all living life to the fullest!!!

I would have been going wild with my camera!
Each picture is more extraordinary than the next ! I'd say to myself "this is my favorite " ( tile on buildings " then I kept saying that all through the post! :) Can't have a favorite...they are all equally stunning!
What a wonderful trip!! And you got to go with family...double bonus. I'm thinking it must have been difficult to choose just five.
These are beautiful picture Jann. How fun to see Portugal and travel in a little blue van! My cousin went there about 40 years ago and loved it. She's traveled all over the world and thought it was the best country.
Lovely pictures!! The photo of the tiled building is my favorite, it must have been fantastic in person. And what a cool color for a van! :)

Jann, how wonderfully exciting! All of your pictures make me feel so ready to travel to Europe. My bucket list includes a river cruise of France in a couple of years. I think that little van is just perfect! I have been really busy with projects(namely in my master bath)and have missed visiting with all my blogging friends. I have tons more to do around here and most of it involves painting. Hope you have a beautiful and blessed weekend!
