April 30, 2025   First Travel Day to Scotland!  🐑


Today began early. We put Simon on a train to Lisbon airport around 7:40am and finished our own packing up to leave the apartment at 3:00pm.  Simon made it home without a hitch and even managed to catch an earlier flight to Detroit.

Collin picked him up from the Detroit airport (Collin lives just north of it) so Simon could spend the night before driving back to Grand Rapids the next morning. Simon enjoying Arby's after a long day of travel.

We traveled to Lisbon by train as well, to spend the night at a hotel and fly out the next morning. I'm glad we did because our day would have begun at 5:45am leaving Coimbra and completing the travel to Scotland in one day. I snapped some photos as we left.

Fado music is a uniquely Portuguese genre of music. We had walked by these statues for two weeks and neglected to get a picture.

It was raining. A view of the city of Coimbra away from the pedestrian only street on which we stayed.

More of Coimbra. It was a pretty big town.
