Thanksgiving in Portugal Day Three

Today it was warmer and sunnier and we got up a little earlier.  We went down to Sintra and did some more shopping.  Sintra is full of beautiful, narrow, windy streets.
Sorry it's sideways :)



Then we drove through the back streets toward Cascais and saw some huge homes and beautiful roads.  Drivers are crazy around here though, they think they're the only ones on the road and who cares about anyone else.

Once in Cascais, we went to an English pub (of all places) and had steak on a stone.  It was delicious.  Then we walked a little through the town.  Next we headed to Boca do Inferno on the coast.  It's a place where during high tide or rough seas the waves slam into a ceiling-less cave and spouts the water (kind of like Hawaii's blowhole).  Unfortunately the waves were calm, but it was beautiful.



Well this is the end of my adventure in Portugal.  Tomorrow morning, early, I fly back to Germany via Madrid.  When I got back, it was to discover we had our first snow and there was about four to five inches of snow all over my car that I had to remove before driving.  That wasn't fun.
