Tuesday May10th


Lisbon! I love Lisbon..it so stinky, and so beautiful! We took the bus to the center of the city and walked around the Alfama..hundreds of stairs..up, up, up opps dead end down, down, over one and up some more.and looking out across the roof tops to the sea is so beautiful. The jacaranda trees are in bloom, all purple against the white plaster of the houses.. in the squares there is much life, many people in cafés and walking about, many shops with so many things fabric shops and notion shops with buttons and trim and ribbons, Oh My! We were an hour late getting into port so our day was shorter and we did not have time to do all that we wanted to. The weather was sunny 84 degrees..very warm! Tomorrow is Cadiz Spain at noon…of course all the shops close from 1-3 for siesta..so we will not have a lot of time to shop!! More later
