Surf Portugal (the short version)

I'd rather make this post about the pictures so here is the synopsis...

Surf: Too big in lots of places. We headed to the Algarve in search of manageable waves. We ended up finding lots of fun waves, but I prefer reef breaks and we mostly surfed beach breaks.

Weather: Colder than I expected. In the water I wore a 4/3 and was almost always cold. Out of the water, I usually wore pants and a light jacket and was usually cold.

Food: Mediocre. Maybe it was the small towns we were visiting, but I was not impressed. The bread and cheese was pretty good (and pastries), but overall I was expecting more.

Coffee: Excellent. Not sure how it is spelled in Portuguese, but the Med Lite was awesome! I would almost go back just for the coffee!

People: Locals didn't seem very friendly. They were not mean, but they seemed very closed off. All the tourists we met were very nice! Hans and Frans from Germany were great!

Architecture: Awesome! We have our fort in St Augustine, but they have them in almost all coastal towns. Plus theirs are huge!

Pricing: This varied quite a bit. Hotels were super cheap. We paid about 35 Euros per night when not in Lisbon. Coffee was super cheap. Food ranged from cheap to average.

Let the fun begin!
