Short-shrift time again, I'm afraid; I'll write more later when we have more time. Right now we're in Altea, Spain. Tommorrow will be the last day on our Eurail pass, so we're headed for Barcelona in the morning.
We had good time in Coimbra before we went to the old walled city of Obidos, probably the prettiest city in Portugal. (Many Portugese get married there because it's so picturesque.) After Obidos, we headed down to Lisbon and spent the afternoon touring, before catching the overnight train to Madrid.
I was prepared to dislike Madrid, (since we had a very difficult time finding a hotel), but both of us loved the city. We went to the Prado museum in the morning, and visited all the major plazas and landmarks in the afternoon and evening. Madrid is an exciting, beautiful, clean city.
The next morning we went to Alicante, on Spain's southern coast, and then caught a series of busses, trams and trains to the small town of Altea on the Costa Blanca. Steve and Aryn Caligiuri have a unique cross-cultural ministry (called the Edge course) here, and we've spent a wonderful couple of days visiting with them.
We've had a chance to upload a few of our pictures, so make sure you check out our Flikr photo page to see what we've been up to.
