We love doing yoga (we’re from California after all!). But something told me that this yoga class wouldn’t be like our usual Vinyasa flow. Within minutes of starting, our instructor encouraged us to talk and laugh as much as we wanted. Also to take plenty of photos. Oh, one other thing…

We managed to plug in 5 days in Portugal as part of our honeymoon (which also included stops in London and South Spain). Five days in Portugal is a little tight. If only we had all the time in the world! And while this itinerary covers a lot of ground,…
