The Holidays

Ericka returned to Portland for the holidays and I traveled around Portugal with my parents and brother. It rained a lot, enough that we broke down and bought a dehumidifier for 100 euros. We also took advantage of a washer and drier at a motel over Christmas due to the fact that it is very difficult to dry clothes at home. Like most of Portugal, we have a washer but no drier, and clothes don't line dry in 100% humidity. Winter in Lisbon is similar to winter in Portland, Oregon, but about 10 degrees F warmer, and more humid.

It was very nice to see my family, and I was sad to see them leave. The pictures below include trips to the local castles of Lisbon, surfing on Christmas Eve, scooter rental, and a stay in the Algarve and Seville.
