| Praça da República |
Crews spent weeks stringing lights and decorations all around town. They are now lit and it's magical!! On the main square,
Praça da República, a HUGE tree of lights glows brilliantly and each side street that radiates from it is decorated with a different theme.

With chestnut vendors, festive music piped into the streets, Santa on stilts making balloon animals for kids, and fartura stands scattered around town it's hard not to get caught up in the Christmas spirit!

Peg, your Christmas pictures (actually all of them) are beautiful! I'm living vicariously through you on this trip.
