Hi from the Algarve!

It is Sunday and we are now in the Algarve region - down on the Southern coast. Iºm writing from the hotel lobby because the internet access is very expensive, and the keyboard is Portugeuse, so Iºm getting funky little symbols in the wrong places!

Yesterday we drove from the eastern border back to Lisbon. Our hotel was nice, but we stayed in the actual downtown area. Luckily, taxis were relatively inexpensive, so we were able to go to an area that was more fun, with lots of old buildings and castles up in the hills. We will go back to Lisbon on Wednesday.

Today we drove from Lisbon to the Algarve. Our hotel is on a bay surrounded by the most amazing cliffs. I may post a couple pictures later...it means uploading them to this shared computer, though, so weºll see.

Chris is having a great birthday and has spent seemingly endless hours today swimming in both the pool and the ocean. Pretty nice way to spend the day, I think!

I will check back in soon. We hope youºre all well.
