Cascais with Friends

Cascais is a coastal town right outside of Lisbon. Historically it has been a fishing village, trading post, and home for exiled monarchs. Currently, it is a well-to-do suburb of Lisbon that has many of the nicest hotels in the Lisbon metropolitan area. It is a resort town and it has some really nice gardens, shopping streets, and of course beaches…

I spent a couple of different days here with friends. One just to see the town and another to simply hang out and enjoy an incredible October day at my colleague’s apartment; most of that day was spent chilling on the roof terrace with good food, good wine & beer, and most especially, excellent company with my classmates from the LLM. So, here we all are…

The Germans insisted that the Americans participate in a European gangster picture, I couldn’t keep a straight face…

We spent the whole afternoon chilling on the terrace, and then we all headed down to the beach to for the sunset…

Here we all are again…

We could have been small children playing on the beach…

Except for one thing…

The view was spectacular…

Without a doubt, the most enjoyable day of the semester…
