Spring Break!

I was so excited to have my sister Allison come to visit me over my spring break week. She arrived Saturday morning. That afternoon we took the train into Lisbon and went to the Oceanarium. It's the largest aquarium in Europe. They had many different kinds of fish and marine life.

We decided to travel to Madeira, a small Portuguese island south west of Portugal and west of Africa. It was described to us as the Hawaii/Caribbean of Europe. Many people from all over Europe (Germany, England, Ireland, Netherlands) come for vacation. Because of this the island is very much a tourist spot and most people spoke English. We spent 4 days and 3 nights on the island. It was beautiful! Here are a few pictures. More details and pictures to come...
