Girl's Week in Portugal

Pam and I had a great week while she was here visiting, we did what girls do best, we shopped, caught up on visiting and indulged in a few yummy goodies along the way. The weather was very good during her visit. It was a little cool the day she arrived but continued to get better throughout the week. Pam was giving me a hard time about my layers of cloths for how nice the weather felt, but in my defense, let's not forget she just came from minus 20ish and snow. This is on our deck at the apartment overlooking the Vilamoura marina. Shopping at the Faro Forum mall on day 1, are those new boots ?!
Shopping at the Quarteira Gypsy market on day 3. We had a blast shopping and checking out all the different vendors. You can purchase almost anything here from cloths and footwear to movies to hardware goods and even some snacks. We tried a deep fried dough dipped in sugar, just like elephant ears at the Edson Sidewalk Jamboree but I cannot remember what they were called in Portuguese. Why is Pam pulling a new suitcase?
At afternoon tea time, day 1, we enjoyed some crepes with ice cream and chocolate at the Vilamoura marina. I also introduced Pam to my new favorite beverage, the Shandy (beer and 7up).
