  • First sunset

    December 25, 2019 in Portugal ⋅ ⛅ 14 °C

    Made it home just in time to watch a really nice sunset, and the first we've seen on this trip LOL

    Spot the tiny human for scale in the second photo heh.

  • Car troubles

    December 26, 2019 in Portugal ⋅ 🌬 18 °C

    3 out of 4 of our rented cars have suffered some sort of issue. 2 got a flat tire ON THE SAME DAY (both BMWs coincidentally... expensive cars =/= good tires!?). The third one (not a BMW LOL) has a suspicious piece hanging off its bottom (alarmingly similar to what happened to us in Taiwan but so far much more manageable).

    We are the last and only unaffected car.

    🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞 we make it another 2.5 days without any problems 😱

    On the plus side, someone got a free upgrade to a convertible so they are getting a VIP experience with the crazy winds here. I am not all that jealous. According to my dad's personal stat research, 99% of convertible drivers are bald LOL 😂

    Here she is chomping down on some cookies after meowing at us as soon as we got home. NOT CUTE ANYMORE.

    Why, yes I am bitter, in case you didn't notice.

  • Departure day

    December 28, 2019 in Portugal ⋅ 🌧 18 °C

    Things I will miss:

    - CHEEEEEEEESE 🧀
    - seafood 🐙🦪🐟
    - daily cow sightings
    - occasional sun and warm weather
    - ocean views

    Things I will NOT miss:

    - the effing roosters that crow like a raspy, dying old man right outside our house every morning
    - torrential rain and wind (although if this is being replaced by Toronto slush and snow I think I'd rather have the rain....)
    - creaky old houses and lack of sufficient hot water tanks
