Portugal - our journey begins!

My bags are packed, passport and E ticket in hand, camera ready.  
The "Babes on the Bus" are heading to Portugal.  Let the fun begin!
We'll be exploring sunny Portugal, with it's dramatic coastline, charming villages with narrow cobblestone streets and medieval walled cities. We're staying in pousadas - elegant, unique and historic hotels and visiting UNESCO World Heritage sites, including the city of Guimaraes and the Tower of Belem.
Our journey will follow the contours of the Douro River where we'll taste local wines of the world's oldest wine making region. We'll visit Sintra to see the spectacular castles, manors and gardens and the famous pilgrim town of Fatima. In Lisbon we'll explore city highlights - monuments of beautiful Moorish architecture, the old Alfama district, the sophisticated Bairro Alto and the Lapa districts and learn the secrets of Portuguese cooking at a hands on cooking class. I invite you to follow along with us by checking my blog.  Photos and stories will be posted as often as possible. More to come..........
