 Palacio da Pena Although a bit different than most of my weekend adventures, last weekend I went to Portugal and spent some time in the majestic region of Sintra! This area is located less than a hour West of Lisbon and was mentioned by Lord Byron as a "glorious Eden", which this hilltop town certainly is. What was once a traditional summer retreat for Portugal's kings is now a fairy-tale setting of rolling green hills and impressive palaces. Sintra is a great day trip from Lisbon but I decided to actually stay in the Sintra hills which was better than I imagined!

 Castle ruins, tiny traditional villages, and beer that’s nearly free – A short description of what this past weekend looked like for me as I embarked on yet another short weekend adventure here in Europe. Working the whole Monday through Friday gig leaves me having to do frequent short trips that usually last 2-4 days depending if there is a Federal holiday or if I have any leave saved up. As much as I wish I could travel slower and stay longer, I find that weekend trips can fulfill my wanderlust as well. Also, traveling is not free, at least for me it’s not! So I’ll need to keep up with my work schedule if I want to continue traveling around Europe and beyond.
