This postcard from Portugal captures the adventure of Christmas break in 9th grade, when I traveled to Lisbon with my dad and stepmom. We explored the winding streets of Alfama, rode the iconic trams, and sampled pastéis de nata fresh from local bakeries. One of the most memorable moments was taking a kite surfing lesson together, it was pretty cold and we had to wear wetsuits, but learning to glide across the water with my dad made it unforgettable. Every day was filled with laughter, discovery, and the thrill of exploring a new culture together. This postcard isn’t just a souvenir; it’s a snapshot of the excitement, adventure, and connection that made the trip so special.
