Our neighbor discovered us out on our little deck in Evora, and he even knew a little English!  There were a couple of families in the hotel –  spring break.

Looking to the right from our balcony.

About a 20 minute walk to the bus station midday Monday – the suitcase wheels survived!  A nice Mercedes  ride awaited us – we had the front row seats.

An hour and a half later we rolled over the Tejo River and into Lisbon.

Just south and east of the bridge we passed Cristo Rei, a 92’Jesus on top of a 269′ pedestal, built between 1949-59.  It was modeled after the more famous similar statue in Rio de Janerio.  It’s possible to get to the top of the pedestal for a view of the river and city.
