my moms visits!

This past weekend my mom came to visit me in Portugal for a short (but sweet) time :) And coincidentally the day she got here I got diagnosed with toncilitis! Of courseeeee. But I got meds right away and felt fine the rest of the weekend. We walked around Baixa Chiado, had dinner with my host family which was lovely, went to visit this incredible vineyard Quinta do Casal Branco that my mom works with in NY, and took a visit to Sintra. All the time getting lost, running around and having a great time. Casal Branco was great I'm so lucky I got to go, David was so generous and gave us a wonderful tour and explained so much about the wine. We had a great lunch, great wine, saw some horses and beautiful land. I would definitely recommend checking out their website here and book a tour if you're in Portugal - truly lovely. My mom loved Portugal, and it was so nice to have her here. I wish we could have had a longer time but it's better than nothing! :)

Love you mom :)
