Outdoorsy Sunday

The day started early with a boat ride to the caves of Benagil. We got the “jump” seats, but luckily the ocean was nice and calm so we didn’t have to white knuckle the entire ride. The caves along the Algarve are amazing. We made it back and had to warm up our frozen knuckles and blue lips in the car before heading out for breakfast and then Sagres where we learned more interesting facts about the history of Portugal. Definitely becoming a fan of Vasco da Gama and Bartolomeus Dias.
After walking around the Fort in Sagres, we headed back to Lagos to see the interior of Igreja de Santo António (the famous Saint Anthony), who I have prayed to many times!
“St. Anthony, perfect imitator of Jesus, who received from God the special power of restoring lost things”.
Now, I know the roots of St. Anthony. A military man who became a saint. Will always be special to me, since my son is named Anthony.
Ashley went for a nice run toward the beach in Lagos, while I sat on a bench keeping the pigeons company and missing my bird Jan 🤣
We wondered the streets of Lagos and found another amazing restaurant where Ashley’s meal drew quite the attention.Read more
