our family's travels through Europe
Today the boys and I went to the beach. This is the south side of the Lagoa de Óbidos. The sand is beautiful, the water is clear, and the currents are amazing to watch. The shape of the water and the sand just keeps changing. We didn’t swim, Nate and Tim just played in the sand and paddled a bit, while Ben mostly just sat and read. Out on the Atlantic side people were fishing.
We went to Peniche on Monday, a peninsula where there’s an old fort and some fascinating rock formations.
Then on Tuesday we enjoyed a leisurely walk around Óbidos, the medieval walled city, including a short section on the wall which is a bit nerve wracking with no safety rails!
And of course, we’re also hanging out at home and doing schoolwork.
We dropped Eric off at the airport yesterday for a short work trip to Washington DC, he’ll be back on Sunday.
