My trip to Portugal, in 10 pictures

I'm baaaaack!

Late last night, I flew back to the U.S. from Lisbon — after spending 7 days in Portugal.

I was there to watch my older son play soccer but also snuck in a bunch of sightseeing too. I have some thoughts — on youth sports, on the value of going abroad to change your perspective — that I will share in this space soon.

But, for now, I wanted to show you just a few pictures of the trip. Ok, 10 pictures. (I took hundreds!) And to send this message: If you have never been to Portugal, go. Like, now. It’s an AMAZING city. Kind people. Good food. Beautiful architecture. Terrific vibes.

Hopefully these photos will give you some sense of the place if you’ve never been. And, if you have, these pictures should bring back some great memories.
