Vilamoura- By Elise

Villamoura was very fun. We met our uncle in Lisbon and then went to Villamoura with him. He surprised us by opening the door to a bed room and our grand parents were there!!! I was super excited. So we went out for dinner with them. The next morning we went to the pool. Then at 1:00 pm we met up with our grand parents and went to the beach. Then that night we went to a restaurant with are grand parents. The next morning we rented 2 cars, one for our uncle and grand parents and one for us. The first stop was the beech with a boat tour that went thru caves. There was one view that is a famous view that is known from all over Portugal. Then we got off the boat at our stop and some of us went to a view and some of us stayed at the beech. After that, we went up a very big hill up to our car and drove to our next stop which is a town called Lagos and we walked around the town. Anna got flip flops because her old ones got taken by the river. Then we came across a book store and I got two books.

Ed Sheeran- By Elise

We were so lucky to get an ED SHEERAN ticket for Christmas. In Portugal we went

to the consert. The opening band was James Bay and I only new one of his songs. After, Ed Sheeran came on. By the way, we went to the concert with our uncle. Ed Sheeran osang: Photograph, Shape Of You, Perfect, Thinking Out Lowd, Eraser, l Don’t Care, Castle On The Hill and You Need Me Man I Don’t Need You and many more. There was so many people. The oncore was Shape Of You and You Need Me Man I Don’t Need You. He is on a world tour. I got a shirt and on the back it has all the cities he did concerts at.

Lisbon-by Amelie

Lisbon was a three night stop. We met up with our uncle from England, but he lives in Switzerland now. The day after we got there, we went for a walk around the city. We saw some amazing churches and walked through the St. Jorge castle. We also went to a big square with a statue of a man riding a horse, and walked down to the ocean. We walked through an area and were told that they were setting up a huge party that would begin at midnight. That night, the kids stayed at home while my mom, my uncle and my dad went out to the party. The next day, we had a lazy morning, buying train tickets and playing card games. That afternoon, we went to an Ed Sheeran concert (we got the tickets for Christmas). It was the first concert I have ever been to and it was amazing! The next day, we took a train to Vilamoura!

Spain- By Elise

The Camino is a religious hike that we did. the hike ends with a church in Spain. We hiked for 6 days! I barely made it, l was so tired. We started in Tui. We got there by following the yellow arrows. The thing is, you get passports to collect stamps. That was the most fun part for me. After each day you take a shawer. The last day was the longest.

The Gulliver Park is a very big park. It’s supposed to be a giant lying down. there is slides going down his leg. It was really fun!!!

The cooking class was hiding in the markets and very hard to find but we got there. We got into a group with two people. We made paella and gazpacho. The gross thing is we cut a raw chicken.
