Sunny and warm

We were remembering back to our trip to Rome 13 years ago...although it's warm here, it was HOT there.  We had great shade and a nice breeze while waiting in line at Jerónimos Monastery.

Same as the Golden Gate Bridge

This is a replica of the bridge in San Fran...same architect.  You can't really tell from this picture, but it's the same red color, too.  Hard to see but they have a team that runs underneath.

Sidewalks

All the walkways are made of this stone...hoping for no rain as I would be slipping all over town!

Hotel Avenida Palace

We just finished breakfast and are about to head out to the monastery and Belem Tower, then the castle this afternoon.

Dinner Tuesday

The neighborhood where we had dinner tonight was festive; lots of colors and decorations everywhere!  We sat down at 8:30pm and had to beg for our check at 10:30pm...it was a dinner and "fado" place which mean intermittent live music while you eat.  We lasted through 3 different singers before we bailed.  Craig had lamb, I hade a cabbage veggie something that was tasty. It was great...the music was beautiful, the people are friendly, and we are tired!
