Continuing on. Next morning we hopped on the train to Estoril.
30 minutes later we were on the beach ready for a 30 minute walk to Cascais.
There were lots of men in skimpy swim suits ;)
Ahh, the Atlantic Ocean. Not nearly as stinky as the Pacific, but still just as beautiful.
After we got to Cascais we wanted some lunch! We stopped at one of the hundreds of cafe's.
For some reason, everywhere you go you get fries with your meal. Plus a salad consisting of shredded carrots, unpitted olives, and tomatoes.
Ty and I went to McDonald's. I know. Who goes to a foreign country to eat there?
It was actually better tasting than back in the states.
Walking up the streets in Cascais.
One of the neatest things about the trip was the free bikes or *bicicletas* that we used for the day to ride up to *boca do inferno*
The "mouth of hell".
This was my favorite fountion we saw during the entire trip, and there were lots of them.
The water wasn't flowing at the time, but I still liked him.
A little video of us walking through the cloisters.

The boys found a hole in the rocks that sounded like Darth Vader when the waves went in and out.
We had gone to the monastery earlier in the week but the inside was closed. We had time after Estoril & Cascais to go inside. We were so glad we did. It was awe inspiring.
The tomb of Vasco da Gama

Once we walked through the inside we went outside to look at the cloisters.
This is the area where the monks would congregate to meditate.
