After almost exactly 3 years, we are headed back to Europe for a bit of adventure. We will be starting and ending this 17-day trip in the country we were "pushed out of" by the COVID-19 pandemic in March of 2020 -- PORTUGAL. We land in Porto on March 1, rent a car, and follow the Atlantic coastline through northern Spain and western France. Along the way we'll sample Port in the Duoro Valley, visit the Celtic Nation of Galicia (Spain). travel through Basque Country, and sample the wines of Bordeaux and the Loire Valley. After dropping our car off at Orly Airport and spending a night in Paris, we plan to hop a train to Amsterdam for a few days, before flying to Lisbon -- where we escaped from in 2020. Then it's back home on March 17.
If anyone has suggestions or ideas along our route, please comment on this post. See you on the other side!

Have a wonderful trip! Looking forward to reading the blog. I'm off to Madrid on March 21. Will be visiting Barcelona and onto Sitges for a quilt show, a visit to Valencia and then off to Rome to visit with Alison and the boys. Can't wait! It has been almost two years since my last trip to Italy. Ciao!
