    October 24, 2023 in Portugal ⋅ 🌙 20 °C

    It’s hard to believe that this great adventure that we began on September 5th is coming to an end tomorrow. We can’t begin to express how incredible this experience has been for us. So many amazing places and interesting people we have met along the way. We had our share of down days but overall this experience was so much better than we ever imagined.
    As sad as we are to have this come to an end we are excited to return home and see our family, friends and of course, Ginger and Luna.
    Our last couple of days in Lisbon have been wonderful. It’s a beautiful city!!! It was a nice way to end our journey.
    Thanks to everyone who followed us and encouraged us along the way.
    Now to finish packing up one last time …..🥲    Read more
