Lisbon

Decenber 8th, 2023
Day 95 of this journey. 

We got another day to visit Lisbon!
I will give you a short tour, dear Reader, since I already lost one post.  Ha!  Maybe I need to be less exuberant...
These are my favorite tiles out of about a gazillion I took pictures of.
I couldn't pick my favorite sidewalk.
But a heart helped.
We all wish for peace.  Has this been a hope for my whole lifetime?

This is truly a city on a hill.  All the way uphill.  The Santa Justa Lift helps a bit.
Twenty people at a time going up, fifteen going down.  All for about $6, including your wait time.

We followed the bubbles to city center.

The whole tree is pretty fabulous.
The Arco de Triunfo.   Someone won a war here.
The ever dependable sea gull.
And the victorious elephant.

We were serenaded.
And had a delicious meal of local sardines.

We reminisced about our time last year in our favorite neighborhood,  the Alfama.


 As we sailed out, we passed a march for peace in Gaza.

We sailed away past the Belém Tower, grateful for another opportunity to visit this city.
Goodbye for now, Lisbon!
We now have 6 days at sea to return home.
