Cascais Harbor. (Icarus Shawl, in Misti Alpaca Lace--my first big lace project and favorite, most-worn knit.)Visited the Boca do Inferno:

Taken at the Castle of St. George.Wandered around Lisbon:
Even found a yarn store, and bought some yarn. No pictures of that yet, though.Walked for miles along the beach:
