By sunset - Monsaraz, Portugal


Hello, dears. I just want to show the photos I took yesterday when we went to Monsaraz. Just can't get enough of that village... 

I just finished packing my bag! I'm going to Portimão tomorrow morning to spent a couple of with among lovely people. I'm so excited! 

I'll try to post something during those days (:

Love, Maria

Setúbal, Portugal - Family Time II


Hello, hello! It is so hot out here that should be a crime. Geez... 
So, today was family time again, but this time my sister came along. And I hate when we have to wake up at 6 a.m., to leave at 7 a.m. to be in Setúbal by 9 a.m. It is the only way for my nephew to have some quality time at the beach. Still, it is my little angel so I don't mind making that effort.
We went to the same beach of last week (it's like a family heritage... since we were babies that we always come to the beaches of Arrábida Moutain. And now is time to continue that with my nephew.) The first hours we were at the beach it was foggy and cold, but when the sun started to come out it got hot as hell! It's always fun to watch my little angel doing babies things and talking, and laughing, and screaming. And of course, my brother as the most incredible sense of humor, and his quote of the day was "I'm so hot that the sun is jealous!". Crazy bro! 
I'm not used to take photos by watching the LCD screen, but since my boyfriend needed the Nikon, I had to take photos with my sister's camera. Not bad, but still not perfect.



Love, 
Maria

Slide & Splash - Lagoa, Portugal

Hey, dears! So, one of the places I went with my boyfriend and his family, during my vacation last week, was to the Water Park named Slide & Splash. And OMG! I've never been on a park like that so you can imagine my inner child coming out, screaming my lungs out when sliding every slide on that park. It was amazing! My boyfriend's father was like "Maria, you gotta try this one, and that one, and the other one!", and I was like "Holy fuck, I'm gonna die!". We went on a easier one just to start slowly, and the guy said to me "You can scream as loud as you can", and I was like "Oh, don't worry, I will!". And I did. HAHA, I didn't have this much fun in months! And it is a good place to let your daily stress go due to adrenaline rush you have on every slide. I'm looking forward to go back there next year.  

Love, Maria
