Portugal

We visited Lisbon, the capital city of Portugal for two days. Lisbon has a big bay separating the city so we took the ferry in to the old city, one of the days.
The Portuguese don't speak Spanish so we had to learn Obrigado (please/thank you) and hello. Most Portuguese speak English though and are really friendly. The old part of Lisbon was nice but overall, there was not much to see in Portugal. They make a really nice Spinach and Chickpea soup.
We saw this on the way in to Lisbon

The guards at the presidents house

The old bridge

Not sure what this was, there were lots of interesting buildings like this.
Our favourite department store

The president's house at night.
