Portugal - Ave Aveiro!

Oh hey! Man, we don't know how we're gonna top that Bangladeshi station! It was a super-duper, to say the least!

And, today we visit our 25th country!
Only 232 (palindrome alert!) more to go! (depending on what we recognize as nations)

What do you say we head to Portugal today?

So blue!

Pinky had the chance to go there about a decade ago when he was 16ish. But for some outlandish reason, he passed on it and have been kicking himself ever since. His family was on one of those "if it's Tuesday this must be Belgium" trips, and at the very end of it they could have carried on from Madrid to Lisbon. His mom was up for it, but Pinky and his sister were travel-weary from a month on the road and were ready to go home. 

He's always regretted that decision and feels obligated to go one day, just in rectification. His mom is going to beat him to the punch when she gets to go next year for some embroidery workshop and his brother worked a show there a while back. He said there are some CRAZY black and white tile sidewalks and plazas there. We're promptly adding those tiles to our "must see list."

We won't be in the capitol today though. Let's head off to the Aveiro district in the central coastal area! It reminds Ellen of Malta, especially the boats. Hopefully the music will be as awesome as these pictures!
