Alfama and Belem

Saturday,we visited Alfama (just to the right of the appartment.)
Churches and Castello.
Beautiful view of the river and the town.
We had lunch in a delicious Indian restaurant .
Fabulous Samosa and Chai tea.
Yesterday,after jumping the fences for the train,
we walked the Waterfront to Belem.
Again another sunny day with Sushi on the water for lunch,
Outside in the sunshine .Mmmmm!!!
Today we are taking the metro to the site of Expo98 to visit
the Oceanorium and another waterfront.
Tomorrow is departure day via Frankfurt...
See you all at Christmas......
PS No picture as the Internet does not seem to work at the appartment.

Lisboa

Sunny.sunny.sunny
We left the apartment this morning
and on our way to the market,there was
 an open air concert by the Naval Orchestra.
After listening to a couple songs,we made our way
to the market thru the narrow streets of Lisboa.
We got some garlic,tomatoes and gambas for
a little lunch feist with some Vinho Verde.
We are renting a cute little apartment in the
heart of Baixa.
It even has a little clothesline of the kitchen....
Tonight we are going to a Concert of Duo
Violino Acordeao playing some Astor
Piazzolla which I discovered a couple summers
ago with my brother.
LIFE IS GOOD!

Monsanto

George drove me to Monsanto a ancient little village
on top of a hill in the country.
It felt like a place for the druids in Asterix.
Quite magical !!
Trees full of oranges and olives.
Sunny day, fields with sheeps ...

Impressive...

Serra da Estrella

After Porto,we drove thru Serra Da Estrella Parque Natural
The highest mountains in Portugal.

For a bit we thought it would

be like driving the Cabot Trail: Fog Fog Fog

then all of a sudden it all cleared up.

Absolutely breathtaking.

We slept in a ski resort (very little snow)

Weather of  2 degree.

I had to get my scarf out...and my gloves...
