Wow, what an amazing two weeks in Portugal and, even after all of that time, I still want to go back!
From the bustling cities of Lisbon and Porto to the winding Douro River Valley, Portugal will always have a special place in my heart. While in Portugal, I came to realize how much of a bubble I live in here in Texas. I felt so welcomed by the people of Portugal; there they treated us as one of their own. Each company we visited emphasized a passion for a tight-knit family culture, our tour guide Paula and every other person we met along the way sought to treat us like one of their own.?
My favorite part of the trip was visiting the Douro River Valley. When thinking about Portugal, I never really thought that I would find mountains. However, the Douro River Valley proved me wrong! There in the valley, the grapes of the famous Port wine are grown creating stunning scenery.?
Overall I am so happy I went to Portugal and cannot wait to go back and see even more!
