We went to the wine festival in Biscoitos on Saturday. They were going to have a parade from the winery down to the vineyards to pick the grapes. Well of course we were running late, so when we got there they were just leaving the winery. So we had to quickly find a parking spot and catch up with the parade. Little did we know that it was about a mile down to the vineyards. Saturday was probably the hottest and least windy day since we've been here. We were so hot and sweaty and Grady wanted to be carried. We finally made it to the vineyards picked some grapes and then we had to go back to the winery...uphill almost the whole way!! When we got back everyone took a much needed break while they unloaded the grapes. Then the part I had been waiting for...we got to stomp on the grapes. I was so excited! Grady did more standing in the grapes then stomping, but he had a good time. They then fed us dinner and we got to taste some wine, yum-yum. By the time we left we were exhausted, but not too exhausted for some sightseeing. We stopped at a lookout/hiking park and got to see some more amazing views. It was a great day and we still can't believe we are getting to do these things. We are so thankful for this opportunity we have been given.
