We have been enjoying the nearby town of Cascais. First, we went for the farmers market on Saturday. The Cascais farmers market is every Wednesday and Saturday and is great! After collecting fruits and vegetables for the week, we stopped at a little restaurant called Local in the market building. It has great, healthy food!
We have been back to Cascais twice since. Each time exploring a bit more. On the second trip, we met the Elliotts, another family taking a long travel vacation. They have a travel blog as well! Theo had a great time with his new friends!
Otis, Theo, and John Pierce
Thanks for the memories; we look forward to the next time our paths cross!
Parque Marechal Carmona in Cascais was awesome. First, that is where we met the Elliotts. Second, there are great trails, bridges, and old structures to explore. Last, but not least, spring was in the air for the birds! And they were friendly!
And a Peacock was showing off its mating ritual:
Yes we really were that close!
I also found a great mural in Cascais.
I use google photos and it stylized the photo in black and white and I think it’s great!
Anyway, we are finally starting to settle in to our new location. I even made it out surfing today. I have not been in the water enough to get into surfing shape yet, but it is still fun! FYI: these waves are well overhead, with some small barreling sections. I would guess there are 10-15 surfers in the water in this picture.
Here is a video for those of you following the blog because of Theo, here he is wandering through the park:
