November

Steven likes to cheer on the Coimbra Academica futebol team.

Visit to Nazare.

Scary!

Looking straight down.

Where all the surfers catch the huge wave!

See the mountain in the middle of the picture. We climbed it.

Taking a break on the hike up the mountain.

So many stairs, but so worth it.

The Top!

Sunset over the ocean from the top of the mountain!

The Coimbra Botanical Garden. That is a big tree!

Visit to Obidos. Street market.

Entrance into the city.

Inside the Castle we ride the three headed horse.

Onward!

What little girl doesn't want to go to a real castle? This one you can actually stay in. See the window, top right... that's a hotel room. I'm thinking a birthday party in there next year...

Exiting the city.

Greeted by these two characters.

Proof is on the wall. Karis can write both her name and Lydia's. (The hole is where there used to be a shelf.)

We made cookies to give to our neighbors.

Photo bomb.

The crashing of the waves!

Encouraged to see a cross!

The coast of Portugal is very rocky and beautiful.

So tired of cake... ice cream. Happy Birthday Daddy!

Hanging out in the laundry room.

Lydia is getting big and wearing Karis' hand-me-down clothes. 

A night out to see Jeremy Camp... ha. Lost in translation. Not the music recording artist.

Back to the breathing machine... boo!

Who took a bite of the butter? ...Lydia!
