2023 Amsterdam and Portugal

 June 25th -  Bye bye Portugal. We are on our way home.  Dave and I played golf in the am and now heading to the Lisbon airport hotel before we all get on an early flight.   Thank you Sunshine for planning such a great trip.  And Dave and Steph for being such amazing travel buddies.  We had the best time with both of you.   Also, thank you Kim Diaz and Saka for also helping plan the trip.  And to our friends, Tim, Maria, and Luis.  It was great to see you. So I was thinking about what to watch on the plane ride home and I thought some pics from the trip would give me some inspiration...

After pottery class, I decided to go cliff diving.  That was really fun.   This was my classmate Felipe.  I am right after him The beach here gets packed on Saturdays.  This is right outside our hotel.  If you look closely, you can see me jet skiing in the distance.  It was super fun. After jet skiing, D...
