Room with a view

"Everything that is really good and beautiful, of inward moral, spiritual and sublime beauty in human beings and their works comes from God."
Vincent Van Gogh

All the way from Sintra, Portugal

Here are some photo's of lovely Lisbon and Sintra, Portugal. I was there last May for a missions trip with the BCM at my school. It was a great time and the Lord did lots of cool things, as usual.

1. The 'Torre De Belem' a 16th century tower to guard the river, it was like a lovely giant sandcastle!

2. The notorious Tram 28. This is supposed to be the most dangerous place, for pickpocketing that is. Beware of Tram 28!

3. The underground tunnels, ponds, chambers, and staircases in the garden of a beautiful palace in Sintra, just up the street from Lord Byron's place. We found this spiral staricase by mistake and went all over the place underground.

4.The view of Lisbon from the Castelo de Sao Jorge (Castle of Saint George) super old, super cool. In this picture you can see the 'restoradoes' (The Restoration) section of the city. This is where the huge arches of a cathedral remain from an earthquake, they are now gardens. A lovely thought!

5. Me in a tower! This was in Sintra at the same palace as the staircase picture. There were random towers and little castles all over the grounds of the palace.

Happy Birthday John! (And Bree!)

Today John Lennon would be 66! So everybody go listen to some of his (better) music and don some groovy glasses.

(Oh, and by the way, that is NOT a picture of Bree! She is much lovlier!)

The 10th Annual Cemetery Tour went well, why I even stole my brothers hat. How does the top hat look a la Elizabethan? I agree, simply bizarre!
