Lisboa Parte Tres

Next stop, Baixa and Alfama.
It was overcast the first part of the day. Great! But, it rained hard in the afternoon. It was still so much fun!

Praça do Comércio
There were a ton of shops and mom & pop cafe's up this entire street. Pretty neat.

We headed up to the Castle of St. George after some wandering around Baixa.
Sorry it's a little shaky but I wanted to show you what we experienced on the way up to the castle.



This is after our hour long tram ride (we got on going the wrong direction ;0)
We ate at a little cafe' and this is what you would normally find. Two big pieces of yummy bread and a single slice of ham. Go figure.

On top of St. George's Castle with Lisbon in the background.




The view was to die for.



Look at those silly boys.


Here is the view to die for I was talking about.

Alfama
The best part was getting lost.
Once again it's shaky. This is the only way to show you what it was like walking through these amazing streets. *no, we didn't add in the scary music. That was coming from someone's house.*

That is kinda scary that you got lost. How long were you walking around aimlessly? But it does look like a beautiful city.

Hey, Jena! It's been so long...sorry...I stalked you through Dana's blog. But it looks like you're having the time of your lives! I can't believe you've been married for five years?! Time flies! Also, I have to say, I am more than overly jealous of your world travels. That is all. :)

Yeah, it seems kinda scary that no one was around and that people's doors are just open like that. And the music, nice touch by the neighbor. EEK!!! Is there more coming???

I love looking at your trip. Looks like the time of your life! I remember when we went to Brazil for a college choir tour a couple of years ago, and McDonald's was the best place in the world---you knew exactly what it would taste like, and you knew it would be safe to eat!:) Unlike some other places...ha ha

Playlist Fun

I thought this would be a cool idea, and a chance for me to brag about how awesome we are ;) I decided to create a playlist that only had bands on it that either Jena or I (or both) have seen in concert. So you are now listening to this playlist. Here is a little information to go along with the playlist: It only includes bands that we wanted to see, it doesn't include opening bands (unless we really liked them). You will notice that there is more than 1 song for a few of the bands. This reflects how many times we have seen them live. (Yes, I have seen Red Hot Chili Peppers 3 times, and I will see them again if I have the chance.) I refused to include songs from 2 of the concerts that Jena has been to, for personal reasons. These concerts are Garth Brooks and The Dixie Chicks. The first concert I ever went to was in 8th grade and it was Jimmy Page and Robert Plant. You know, from Led Zeppelin. I took my dad to see Deep Purple for Father's Day a few years back. Smoke on the Wate...

Our Everyday Life: Weeks 15-21

Where do I begin?! A lot has happened in the few short weeks that I haven't blogged. We unexpectedly moved back to Utah! Not only Utah, but our old hometown. **** Before we moved back to Utah, we visited family in Utah for Thanksgiving. Creating hand turkeys with Mema for thanksgiving. Jordis was quite positive that we couldn't see her. Barber Family Photo! I think he's pretty handsome... Boy band shot. All the grand kids.  We made candy sleds to race at GG's house with some of Jordis' cousins.  ****    We frequently head to the Harley store as a form of entertainment. Jordis could ride on this rocking  Harley all day. Notice that she HAS to wear gloves while riding. We had one last get together with some of our really good friends in Twin before we left. Visiting someones house that they decorate their entire yard and ...
