Mr. & Mrs. Vandebilt + kids

It just so happens that we are in Portugal for Carnavale! We are staying about 20 minutes from Loulé which hosts one of the largest celebrations in the country. Carnavale celebrates the beginning of lent and summer and was so much fun! We ended up going two days the kids enjoyed it so much. The parade is fairly interactive, the kids were hauled into the action as often as they wanted. They throw out streamers and handfuls of confetti from all the floats and loaded up the kids hats so they could throw their own. They even had wine for the adults that they passed out! Gold cup might end up being a bit of a let down this year.

This is our last night in Portugal – we set sail for Tangier tomorrow. We are so sad to leave. This place has been good for us. We relaxed, had some sunshine, got some rest and made some fantastic memories. We will be back.
