Heading to the Beach

Goodbye Lisbon, hello Algarve (after Dave's morning run)! We rented a car and headed south to the coastal resort town of Lagos in The Algarve. We stopped for lunch in Alacer do Sal, a charming small town outside of Lisbon on the River Sado (I think.....).

Next, we stopped for a little walk and some ice cream at Vila Nova de Milfontes, a cute town on the western coast in the Alentejo region.

In Lagos, I had one of the best meals of my life - fresh grilled tuna, potatoes, and a healthy pour of delicious vinho verde wine. The portions are huge in Portugal. Dave and I could have split a meal and still been stuffed. That didn't stop us from getting dessert, of course.
