Portugal

 Portugal might be my favoriteso far. Don´t worry, not of all time, just on this trip. Paris is still numba one!! :)
It wasn´t too hot which was nice since Italy was so warm. We went to a castle, palace, and museum. We dined three times. Once at a cute cafe restaurant, once at a nice restaurant where we got fresh fish (likethey caught it a few hours before and they showed us the whole scaly fish before preparing it) and today at the cafe at the museum.
Portugal is rich in history and strongly influenced by Muslim culture due to the Moors. It had a very rich royal family for a while but the royals kept marrying cousins and family so... yeah that might have been their downfall. The beach was crowded but nice. I never saw so many bikinis in my life. After the fish dinner we watched the sunset over the ocean. We had an amazing view from our table as well and it was gorgeous! I did not used to like fish but now I do! I´m glad because the fish wasso good. I still don´t like sushi or octopus though.
Now we are in Spain. The family we are with is amazing.Victor is fourteen and speaks almost fluent English and the little sister Sofia speaks too but she is kind of shy. Juan speaks French but not much English and he has a job I would love! He used to be an archeologist but now he works mostly on arctifacts and stuff for a museum and his company. Pretty cool! The mom, Sonia is very nice and says that she is going to learn English for when we visit next year! :)
And mom: Ruby and I did our daily hug as well as putting arms around shoulders for pictures ;)
