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!
