Berlin

The final stop in our adventure was Berlin to visit Eric's brother. We were very glad to get the chance to see him and absolutely fell in love with Berlin along the way! It's a great city with an amazing mix of old and new. Although the weather was a bit rainy, we made the most of our time and spent as much time with Brendan as we could. We managed to go to a museum, take a boat ride, and visit a few different playgrounds. We can't wait for the chance to go back!

Finally, an update!

Sorry for the lapse in posting. Our computer ran out of memory and then we spent some time getting readjusted to life back in the States and blogging, well, got lost in the mix. Now that we're all home and settled (and not quite so busy!), I'm finally back to it! These are the last of our pictures from Portugal, with a bit of Spain thrown in. We went to a local fair, the Festival of St. John. It was, hands down, Maddie's favorite experience of our entire time in Evora. She loved all of the rides and was very upset when the fair was over. Otis also enjoyed the rides much more than I thought it would. It was really a treat to see the kids enjoy the fair. Our last adventure before leaving Portugal was to meet my mom in Madrid. It was a great experience and we also enjoyed it a ton. We managed to see two flamenco shows (one for my mom and I only and one with Maddie) and they were fantastic! We rode the double decker bus around town and found it a great way to see a lot of sites with the kids. All in all, we had a great time and the kids proved, once again, to be great travelers!
