Good Afternoon,
Lucky you guys, I have a three hour wait before we are leaving for our train so we are just hanging around and working, well mom is working and I’m writing this second blog post.
Portugal is famous for their tiles. Tiled walls, tiled floors, tiled everything. And if you think it’s easy to walk on tiles you have another thing coming, I almost slipped right onto my butt once or twice. So it is only appropriate that we visited a tile museum. Having three art junkies in the group my mom, Jes, and I were waaayyyy too excited.
Not sure why the lighting made my pants so bright but I feel like I have a rather holy glow...must have earned it after traveling with my family for four days in a row lol.
Miss you all.
Xx, Carolyn

Aren’t the tiles so pretty!!
Randomly in this tile museum there was this gilded church. It was very ostentatious, and over the top, and rather spectacular to stare at. However my favorite part was this HUMAN that was considered a decoration??? I really want to know who that was? They either most have been the world’s biggest saint or sinner to get a permanent seat in church hahah.
Look who I found amongst the other non-tile exhibits in the tile museum? This picture was too funny not to take, no matter how embarrassed my mother was. I think Nayyirah added quite a lovely flair to the piece don’t you?
After the tile museum we went to the beach town of Cascais. Well, we attempted to go to the beach town of Cascias to roam around and find the Boca Do Inferno. But nope, as our luck would have it, the one beach day we planned Portugal decided to rain! I didn’t even know this city was capable of that!! Seriously though, after clear skies and 90 degree weather all morning, how crazy was it that we got rained on that very afternoon.
But you should know that I am always a good sport and therefore a little rain (more like a full on downpour) did not stop me from taking pictures and skipping down the street with lots of laughs.
When we finally made it back to Lisbon, we changed into drier clothes, got into our matching sassy tops from LA, and had a good old fashioned movie night at the hotel. It’s fun having an international friend, but it sure does making saying goodbye hard.
I’ll update you on my last day in Lisbon tomorrow.
Miss you all.
Xx, Carolyn
