May 10th: Another Shore Excursion day
Today we were in Lisbon and we took a shore excursion to two places, one of which I don’t know how to spell or pronounce and the other was a most delightful place named Sintra. In the first place we went to we walked a little ways until we found two nice gift shops and I bought myself a little tiny blue owl and a fan. Then we boarded the bus and went to Sintra.
Sintra was beautiful. It was up on a mountain and there was a castle up on top of the mountain. But more importantly every where you looked were small, delightful shops. Shops, Shops, Shops! I had a great deal of fun there. I bought two fans and a lovely shawl with a fringe. So I had fun.
In the bus I discovered something. A tiny little sony camera! The person who had it said that they only cost about $200.00 Expensive yet more affordable and so cute and tiny! It is smaller than my cell phone! I think it would be very fun to have pictures on here because I can’t describe a place very vividly. Or maybe it is just because I never bother to take the time to do it.
Any way it is time for food for I am very hungry and tired from the shore excursion. I had a fun time today.
