I´ve been keeping a secret from you. I know, it´s terrible. Not very nice of me at all, but you all know I´m a private person. Ha! A private person with a blog… yes, I´m an enigma. But moving on.

The secret is that my husband gave me a Christmas gift that would make any girl swoon. And swoon I did right after screaming with delight.

A trip to Portugal and Spain with a dear friend. Who is really awesome and hilarious… she wanted you to know that… she made me put that in… she´s sitting over my shoulder right now hitting my shoulder and laughing with embarrassment. Because she is that sort of friend. Everyone needs one, I´m just sayin´.

We spent the first three days in Portugal seeing some sights around Lisbon and catching up on all the talking we haven´t had time to do for the last eighteen months. Our mouths should be tired, but they aren´t. They aren´t, I tell you. We just keep talking and eating. And talking.

The Castle of St. George high on the hill in Lisbon.

The Quinta del Regaleira (or something like that) in Sintra.

The Tower at Belem.

We are in Madrid now. I can´t wait to get back to my personal computer where I can upload my photos and give you details. We´ve seen some fancy stuff and some fanciful stuff too. So much to share. Until then, adios amigos!

*These are not my pictures. I lifted them from google/pics.
