You do that...
Unlike the fake news about America, Portugal is the greatest country in the world.

It's true.  We've become a shit hole now.  If you were thinking of coming I'd wait until Trump is safely in prison.

I went on a mini trip to Washington DC and New York taking advantage of the long weekend. I had the pleasure of seeing the Book of Mormon musical in Broadway, which was a very funny, satisfyingly entertaining, smart show. I highly recommend it. One of my favorite things, however, was walking around the National Mall in DC at night (around midnight), because it was haunting and breathtaking. If you’re in DC and aren’t afraid of going for a stroll at night, do it. I didn’t want to post pictures of everything, because lazy, but I put my favorites together (easier to post). All in all, I had a fantastic time and I can’t wait to go back. I’m in love with DC (Trump excluded).

Have I shown you guys the mouth of hell?

Hell was peaceful on this day:

---

This one isn't too far from that, a magical place we call Sintra:

---

In the centre, you have the castle.... towards the right, the palace.



Some better framing, from Seteais

I'm in Spain right now, thinking of hopping over to Portugal, any suggestions?

Finally!!!!
One taker!!!

YES! I see you're down south, so... let's start there.
Now, it's the winter, and the south is more dedicated to Summer tourism, but you have a few cool things to see.
Faro is the "capital" of the region and it's exposure to the sea is covered but a series of small islands which are awesome to visit... not sure if you can do that in the Winter...
Then Lagos, where you can get an awesome view over that sort of bay and take a peek into some of the natural crevices: https://goo.gl/maps/TUbGKNTbb8D2
Onwards to the tip, Sagres (the fortress) and the cape of St. Vincent (cabo de são vicente), for more breathtaking scenery.
Northwards, you can go through Aljezur, Vila nova de Milfontes, Santiago do Cacém (skip Sines, that's an industrial place), and end up in Tróia. Hop on a ferry to Setúbal and visit Portinho da Arrábida, then go to Sesimbra and eat some of the best fish you've ever had in any of their restaurants.

Care to keep going north, or turn Eastward? Both are good choices.
The interior gets cold in the Winter, while north leads to Lisbon, where you'll find tons of tourist attractions, but can also take a train to Sintra, the place I mentioned - well worth a whole day (or two).
Then you can go along the coast for more great vistas, at Peniche, São Martinho do Porto and Figueira da Foz, or you can take the less scenic route and visit monuments in Santarém, Tomar, Coimbra... clos to Tomar, you'll find Fátima, the sanctuary, if you're curious.
From Coimbra, you can go to Seia or Guarda and behold the mountain, Serra da Estrela.... perhaps go up there.

The rest of the North is mostly about food and history, but it's nice to take a boat ride along the Douro river. You can visit Lamego (great food), Vila Real, "Freixo de Espada à Cinta" is a great fortress, Chaves has thermal baths from the Roman era.
And then you have the National Park Peneda-Gerês - well worth a few walks around.
Then go on through Monção, Tui, Vigo, Santiago de Compostela.

Have fun!

Another Portugal question, I speak English and moderately good Spanish, but 0 Portuguese. Is that a problem? Everyone here in Spain says to go to Portugal.

Most youngish people will speak an understandable English and we can easily understand most spanish, so you'll be fine.
Even the Spaniards know where the good things are.

I'm living in DC right now. Can confirm. I like walking around at night.
