Putting the Toga Purl in Portugal

Alright, last set of pics, hope you're ready for this, it's a doozy

So let's start off where I started off, in Cascais, at Europe's western-most point. It's a really pretty spot with some epic ocean action.



But what about Lisbon? Well, as you can see, it's a really quaint old city.



There's this San Francisco-ish bridge,



Old-time trolleys,



Giant Jesus statues



The longest aqueduct in the world,



Cool new architecture,



And old architecture,



Sweet towers,



More bridge (I love this bridge),



And a killer oceanarium, with the likes of these guys:









I also spent a couple of days in beautiful Sintra. This town is basically the coolest place in the world. There's an old Moorish castle,





The most epic royal palace I've ever seen,







And the coolest estate ever!



This place had secret passages,



Hidden grottoes,



And this plain old stone door.



Wait a minute.... That's a revolving stone door!



And it leads to this Knights Templar-like passage!



Basically, Sintra rocks! And this estate in particular is the sweetest place in the world!

Stay tuned for my Picks List, and take care folks! I should be back in Alberta sometime next week, so I'll see you all soon.

I have nothing to say about your photos today.

Say, you remember Spider-Man 3? And Apollo Justice?

So...I see the pics, but where are the picks?

Myeheh. I'm pretty clever alright.

That you are. I'll probably get them up today or tomorrow. I've been pretty busy choosing some pics to print, but now that that's taken care of, I'll get back to blogging.
