"You see that white dot in the trees? That's a bald eagle!!"

"Now, stand right here and look where I'm looking. You see that cluster of trees? And then there's two tall trees just to the left of that? OK. Now you see that branch that's sticking off to the right like this? OK. Now look just above it and then in the branch just to the left, there's an eagle!"

But this one seems less threatening. Like if you accidentally visit Bothell you'll end up staying for life! Haha. Although, I am not sure what the "one reason" is for visiting Cascais. I mean, right now there's the European Harley Davidson rally happening in this town. But I sure didn't come for that. :) Hmmm... This guy looks important. Part of an old fort. Paco and I ran into a tourist from Minnesota while walking through Cascais. He asked what sites he should see and we recommended the fort (among others). He goes, "Yeah.
