He looks angry like a guy who just chipped the gel coat on his new boat.

Carolyn and Teresa (in the distance) on the wall walk.  This small walkway goes along the entire outside of the Palace.

Interior vestibule decorated in ceramic tiles.

Close-up of all the tiles in the previous photo.

Carolyn with the Atlantic ocean in the distance.  Pena Palace had great views out to the sea.

Me coming around the turret on the wall walk.

Teresa with the Moorish Castle on the peak in the background.  We’re headed there next.

Pena Palace was originally a monastery and expanded from there.

Just down the road on the next mountain top is the Castle of the Moors.

Teresa and I Inside the Castle grounds.

My niece on the walls of the Castle of the Moors with Pena Palace in the background.

Teresa had to make it to the top first. Go get ’em Mighty Mouse!

Great view over the valley.

Me, with Teresa blending in with the rocks.

Now for the long bus ride back to the marina.

The days not over without a stop in the local pub before retiring.
