April 2017 Travels: Portugal, France

In April, we had our spring break and I got the privilege of going to Olhão in the south of Portugal with my friend, Nike and some of her friends. This trip was one of my favorites that I have taken. The south of Portugal is so beautiful and relaxed. We made our own meals every night (fresh fish!), ate the best bread, and I introduced them all to American pancakes. We took the longest bike ride ever, a ferry to the islands across the way, laid out on the beach, and ate some great seafood. We ate octopus stew (the regional specialty) and hiked! And the sweetest part was that everyone spoke English for me, even though they were mostly German :). I am always so grateful to make new friends through old friends and experience new places with them. Thanks to Nike, Fabi, Ame, Fleur, Mai, Benita, and Lucy for making it such a beautiful week!

Here are some photos of that trip.

Beautiful tile, sunsets, and people!
