It's pretty cold here still, even though the sun is up at 5am and down at 9pm. And, we're still taking a break from our usual every-two-month explorations to make up for the beating our bank account took when we moved from Germany.
BUT, we're planning for a short, weekend trip this August to Lisbon and Evora to see us through the chilly spring.
I can't say that Portugal was on our exploration short-list, but now that circumstances have lined up to make this trip possible, we're getting pretty excited.
Portugal really is a mystery to us-- is it like Spain? Is it like Brazil? Is it like Greece? Is it like...whatever Portugal is like? And what is Portuguese food? Is there a particular Portuguese architecture? How did such a relatively small country stick around with such consistent borders for so long?
Has anyone out there been to Portugal? Any tips? We're all orelhas.
I'm headed to Lisbon in July, and will return and report. (But please send me any info you've gathered--I'm completely in the dark as well.)
