We spent the final day we had together in Portugal in Sintra.

Palacio Pena

Convento de los Capuchos:  The friars at this convent chose to live a life of such asceticism that each of their rooms was too small to stretch out on the floor.


Monika checking out a Cork Oak.  The friars used the cork to line their doors, windows, and benches.

Thanks for all the stories and pictures Chris. As always, it was fantastic to follow your adventures and live vicariously through you!
