the algarve

the algarve is the southern beach area of portugal...we were going down there for some beaches and just hanging out....or not....the weather didn't cooperate!  bummer!  but, it was still nice...small little villages...gorgeous beaches...it was a fun little rest in our trip...we celebrated easter by having a tiny little egg hunt for the kids at the hotel...then, in the afternoon...we took a boat trip...it was really, really choppy...and the two babies both got sick...along with kristen and austin...so sad...but, we saw amazing beaches that you can only get to by boat...it was fun...the next day we took a drive to find pottery, which didn't pan out...and then, went to another amazing beach...it was fun to explore this beach with all it's caves and rocks and things...austin left us to go back to school...and the next day we took a van to seville and then the train to madrid....
