Last Stop, Morocco !!

Our last stop on an amazing journey...Morocco. There we were met by our good friends, Sue and Jon. Suresh was so excited to see them I thought he might explode! Here is Suresh taking a self portrait with Sue.

We spent most of our time hanging out at surf camp with our friends. Suresh hopes that some day he will be as cool as Jon!

After some surf sessions with his Dad, Suresh can now hang ten with the best of them!

The surfing turned out to be only part of the adventure....the Moroccan markets were an experience too! The monkey made us both a little nervous!

Suresh also rode his first donkey in a desert oasis!

And a camel on a beach!

What a wonderful place to end our grand adventure. We are sad to leave Morocco but look forward to home sweet home....where everyday seems to be an adventure!!! Thank you to everyone who made this trip possible!!!!

Sporting Portugal

It would be hard to summarize all that we did in Portugal but it is safe to say that we were a sporty family!

Suresh spent some quality hang loose time with his Dad.

He bouldered a ton with his Mom. This is him on a first ascent! Watch out Chris Sharma!

Elmo even got in on the climbing fun.

No sporty vacation is complete for a four year old without some serious sand time!

Suresh with his signature body launch. That pool of water is only 6 inches deep...ouch!!! We loved Portugal and will miss its sunshine, pastries, port, surf and rock. Next stop, Morocco!!

The Charm of Sintra

We were blessed to spend a month in the beautiful town of Sintra. Our house was a ten minute walk down cobblestones to the historic center of town. The area was filled with museums, palaces, castles, monastaries, and plenty of charm.

This is the Moorish castle that looms over the town. It adds to the mystical feel of the place.

One of the nicest things about Europe is all the bakeries. This was our favorite. Suresh and I came here many times for quejadas and hot chocolate.

Many days were simply filled with walks in the park. What could be better than watching Suresh feed the pigeons for hours.

Rick hooked us up with the last trolley ride of the season. We rode with Grandma and Grandpa from Sintra down to the coast and back. Suresh was in heaven!
