Winter in Portugal

Winter in Portugal

My mom recently went on a Winter trip to Portugal with one of her good friends through Collette tours. I was super excited for her. Not only because Lisbon was one of my favorite cities I visited this summer, but also because she hadn’t been to Europe since she was a little girl. I wanted her to have an incredible experience in a different culture.

She came back a couple of weeks ago with tons of pictures and stories from her travels to Lisbon and surrounding areas, the Azores Islands, and Barcelona. She had an absolutely amazing time!! I can’t wait to get stories from her. For now I just wanted to share some of her photos of winter in Portugal! Looks pretty gorgeous, if you ask me!

And I have to say, I’m very proud and impressed with my mom. She’s not much of a photographer, but she took some pretty beautiful photos on her trip!

Although Portugal is normally viewed as a sunny destination and is more popular in the summer, these photos have me convinced it would be great to visit in the winter, too! Probably less crowded, less hot, and just as gorgeous as always. It’s probably cheaper to visit Portugal in the winter, too!

John Lennon Wall – Prague, Czech Republic

John Lennon Wall Prague

I read yesterday that the John Lennon Wall in Prague recently got painted over in white. The only writing left on it is “Wall Is Over!” in reference to Lennon and Ono’s peace message “War Is Over!”

It made me reminisce on my visits to the wall on both of my trips to Prague. So I decided to take a look back at that wall’s more vibrant years (literally).
