Great sleep, great weather, great city for pictures on such a day.
First, I hope you will forgive me for not giving you detailed information on the history of every building we see, or trying to be a history or geography teacher. I am at the state now that I do not really care to listen because my mind is so full of things that our guides have told us, I have just shut down my mind. In particular, churches, cathedrals, Basilicas, Presidential Palaces, City Halls, King and Queens Palaces etc., etc., etc.
Being here again brought back memories of spending the better part of the day exploring around the monuments to the early navigators with Jim and Gail a few years ago. Later that night we sailed out past them again, toasting with a glass of wine, never expecting to see them again, and here we are. Never say never!
Today, some of the 85 photos I took, most unedited, you will see exactly what we saw, some of them from a moving bus!
The world carries on...
Jacaranda Trees. Lovely, just like Africa and Australia.
MacDonald's, good Capuchinos and clean toilets.
Riverside smoothies!
'Wine With a View', from a parked wine-van.
But look, on her iPhone!
On the Banks of the Tagus, just like the Seine, or Rhone, or Danube, or False Creek...
"Wine With a View" Van. Buy a wine, they give you a chair.
This was once in the river when built in the 1500's!
This is really one of the most impressive monuments in the world.
It is a tribute to the early Portuguese explorers.
So impressive, here is the other side.
