We went to a ‘classic motor’ show today and Dave might share some images with you.  I, however, couldn’t resist this shot of a Sunday outing with dad.  Pretty classic threads!  Even their shoes match. Hopefully Jr. won’t follow dad on the smoking front.

Our home in Lisbon!  It’s only about 12′ wide, but it’s well laid out with a large bedroom & 1/2 bath upstairs, a fireplace in the living room, and a huge sunny courtyard.  Newly remodeled, we were the first to book Carlos’ place.  Though we had very little down time, there are still  museums, palaces, and parts of town that we didn’t have time to visit in our 2 weeks here.  Next time!   Like the Spanish, the Portuguese are very passionate people (yelling discussions are the norm), but they truly are friendly and seem to genuinely care about you.

We’ll take the train to Port (Oporto!) today – a 2.75 hour ride.  We hear nothing but good things about the town (1.4 million in the area).  Home to port wine (hello, Mother) and some nice river countryside. But first you’ll see a couple of tardy Lisbon posts. Be well! Laura
