In Lisbon today, some cool stuff here. We found this one castle with a crazy view of the entire city, still need to put the pictures onto the Internet. Everyone onboard is already thinking if their parents and malta.
Joe and I were at that castle in Lisbon 10 years ago. I have a picture, but I don't think I can upload it. We also went to 2 castles on a small mountain in a town outside of Lisbon called Sintra. One of those castles is called the Moorish castle - I fell completely in love with it. Then I discovered there's a good chance it's part of my history - my mom's maiden name is DeLaFuente. At some point the DeLaFuente and Henriques families joined, and until just a few generations ago the family name was Henriques DeLaFuente. The Moorish castle was conquered from the Moores by King Afonso Henriques. My grandfather always said we were royalty!
Jesse, we're glad to hear that you're safe and will be home soon. I can't imagine how scary this must be for you and your parents. Be well!
