Lisbon, Portugal

Portugal is located in southwestern Europe, bordering the North Atlantic Ocean, west of Spain. Lisbon, along the northern bank of the Tagus River, is the capital of Portugal.

Cruising into the Port of Lisbon is a feast for the eyes with monuments such as the Padrao dos Descobrimentos (Monument to the Discoveries). Overlooking the Tagus River and the city of Lisbon is the truly amazing sight of the monument of Cristo-Rei (Christ the King) with welcoming open arms similar to the Christ the Redeemer monument located on the Corcovado Mountain in Rio de Janeiro. The 25 de Abril Bridge completed in 1966 is another amazing sight with two layers of traffic, the top layer for vehicles and the bottom layer for trains. Looking upward and hearing the traffic related sounds as we cruised underneath the bridge was thrilling. The 25 de Abril Bridge, reminded many of us onboard of San Francisco’s Golden Gate Bridge.

The dock area, DOCAS (Santo Amaro Docks), in the Port of Lisbon, has been transformed from warehouses to trendy clubs, bars and restaurants all overlooking a yachting marina. A interesting sight in Lisbon are the quaint yellow trams that are visible throughout the city. In downtown Lisbon are various clothing stores, street vendors and shops selling hand painted tiles along with other souvenirs for visitors. Prior to arriving in Lisbon we had heard about and wanted to taste the pasteis de Belem which are small, puff pastry cakes with a soft creme brulee filling, which was delicious.

Lisbon is a city filled with monuments, statues, castles and buildings decorated with beautiful Portuguese azulejos (tiles)!

Monterey Bay, California

Monterey Bay

Monterey Bay

Monterey Bay is a bay of the Pacific Ocean located along the coast of the state of California in the United States. This beautifully scenic area stretches between Santa Cruz and Monterey Counties south of San Francisco. The Monterey Bay area consist of many attractions such as the Monterey Bay Aquarium, Cannery Row, Old Fisherman’s Wharf, whale watching tours, beaches along with other area attractions.

We landed in San Francisco, as we drove down the coast to Monterey we could not help but notice the picturesque landscape of the wine vineyards. Monterey County is one of the largest wine grape-growing regions in the world. The view of the vineyards reminded us of our visit to the Tuscany region in Italy.

Monterey Bay AttractionsA short distance from our hotel was the area of Cannery Row (former cannery buildings) where you will find restaurants, shops and the Monterey Bay Aquarium. As we walked along the waterfront of Cannery Row the sounds and aroma of sea lions, otters and seals filled the air as we gazed at the amazingly beautiful panoramic views of the Monterey Bay.

You do not have to travel far to have a wonderful vacation. Have you ever considered a staycation? Discover new adventures in your own area or even your own backyard. Day trips at your local museum, amusement park, concerts, county parks, fairs, sporting and special events in your community is a great way to spend a vacation. Your local newspaper should have a list of events occurring in your area.

Where would you like to travel to? Consider throwing a themed travel destination party in your backyard or patio. Think about how surprise your guests will be. Check the party department in your local store for suggestions on throwing your travel party. Sometimes we forget that we do not have to travel far to enjoy our time away from work or school.

Lunch in Paris

6 August, 2024 (06:26) | Cuisine, European Travel

It’s so easy to grab a quick lunch while traveling. I always try to take a little time away from shopping and sightseeing to have a sit down lunch at a popular restaurant within the city I am visiting. It’s a great way to people watch and enjoy a great meal. Keep in mind you don’t have to order a “fancy” lunch, it could be as simple as a hamburger and fries, which is what I ordered in Paris!
