Tomar- Lisbon - Sunday October 9

Ardi - 18,026 steps
Sid- 15,576

25 degrees

Last evening we had a message delivered to us from the front desk saying that Mr Brazil wanted us to have both his email address and Facebook contact.  That warmed my heart!

We left Tomar this morning by train

And arrived in Lisbon about noon.  As an observation...the locals are all wearing long pants and sweaters and sometime toques...it must get very hot here in the summer

On our walk we see that there has been a jewellery store named after our sweet daughter in law In the year of her birth!

Lisbon seems to be very beautiful, we see a cruise ship has docked and all of the street vendors are out with their rommel and rotsoy....


We set out on foot to find our lodging and came across this almost Parisian arc. After some amount of time and a few short cuts we arrive at the guest house we have booked for tonight
We are greetied by two young girls that speak very good English. It is clean and quaint!

We did a trial walk to the Canadian embassy
It took us 8 minutes.  We hope to be there by 9 am....in a perfect world we will be on our way by noon...in a not so perfect world...we will still be in Lisbon

Tomorrow morning I will be doing my best to try to look like the photo in my original passport....
