Algarve, Portugal

June 20-27, 2003

We spent much too short of a week in Portugal.  Staying at a 5 star hotel in the "off season" made for a wonderful and affordable vacation.   Especially one with apartments (including maid service) so we could cook (but not clean) for ourselves.   The temperatures were in the low 80s with plenty of sun and sun burns.  We spent most of the vacation in the resort, but managed a short trip into Albufeira to do some shopping.
