Happy Thanksgiving (a little late)

Posted by Lisa on November 27th, 2006 — Posted in Activities

I hope you had a wonderful Thanksgiving with all the works!! Steve and I went to our friend Amy’s house for a nice outdoor gathering. It was in the 70s, sunny and breezy- the perfect day. Steve made his wonderful turkey and I made mashed potatoes after going all over town and was unable to find sweet potatoes. There was about 20 of us, and we spent the day in the sun eating, drinking and relaxing. What a great way to start back in Chile!!!

Stop 2- Portugal

Posted by Lisa on November 27th, 2006 — Posted in Travel

Lucky for me, Steve had a conference in Portugal, and I got to go too. We had a great time. Portugal is beautiful- cobbled streets and beautiful colored tiled houses. We have so many great memories from our time here. We went to Lisbon for about 2 days and Aviero for 5 days. Aviero is this beautiful town about 3 hours by train away from Lisbon. It has manmade waterways throughout the town. I was able to explore it while Steve was at his conference. The conference took everyone on a day trip by boat through the canals and into the sound to an island for a traditional Portuguese barbecue and the beach. We were able to meet everyone else at the conference and just relax. I can go on for ever about what we did, but I’m sure you would rather see some pics!
