Travel News

How far did I travel this week?:

I traveled around the city (to the university, the grocery store, and then home). I also traveled about 20 miles outside the city to Sintra.

How far have I traveled on this journey so far?:

I traveled from Boston, Massachusetts to Lisbon, Portugal. So just over 3,000 miles. No big deal!

How did I get around this week?:

I used my feet, mostly! Lisbon is very rugged with rolling hills, so I am getting lots of decent exercise when I walk around. I also took the subway, Uber, and the train this week.

What was the most interesting place I visited this week?:

I visited a castle in Sintra called Bleister Castle. It was built about 250 years ago by a rich family, and it's an enormous and beautiful building with an amazing garden. Sadly my pictures of Bleister weren't the best because of the rainy conditions on the day we webt there.

Other Travel News from this week:

I also visited an art museum here in Lisbon named the MAAT. It had a lot of modern art, which is not my favorite, but it also had some exhibits thay appealed to me, too!
