Are you tired of hearing about charming small towns? Each one is genuinely distinct, and today’s journey to Sintra was no exception — from wandering the palace with its delightful bird motif to losing ourselves in the town’s winding streets









For our farewell dinner we had a cooking class. We made cod in cream, prawns, and a custard tart. We may have each eaten the equivalent of a stick of butter.



Shonda wrote and sang a song about the trip to the tune of the Way We Were (our EF tour) We did hilarious impersonations of our well-loved tour director. I have so enjoyed this group. I hope we can travel together again.
