Pictures Update by Mia

Pic #1: A big palace in Portugal. No one really knows what it's called cause we've seen so many! It was really cool though because there were about a hundred little rooms decorated really nicely. There were about five belonging to one queen and all the kings only had one each! It was also built pretty much on top of an old monastery which was mostly destroyed in the earthquake. Only the chapel is left of the monastery.

Pic #2: The huge cathedral at the end of the Santiago de Compostela pilgrimage. It reminded me a bit of Angkor Wat because it had moss on it, and the spires look like Angkor Wat's spires.

Pic #3: There were random statues like this scattered around Cordoba. There was an old man in the airport that mommy thought was real! He was made of metal, and didn't look real at all. I think she needs stronger glasses.

Pic #4: Daddy's artistic picture on the waterfront in Lisbon, Portugal. We walked a long way in the thunder, lightning, and rain for that picture, so appreciate it!!!

Pic #5: The big botanical gardens in Madrid. We were aiming to go to the Museo del Prado that day, but it was closed.

Pic #6: One of the many courtyards in Alhambra Palace, the big Moorish palace in Granada, Spain.
