Breezy and hilly Lisbon
As our time comes to an end, we realize how much more time is needed to explore this beautiful country...so as usual, we will assume on day we will return. We loved the quaint town of Sintra with its narrow streets and magnificent castle, a testament to its glorious past. Cascais was another beautiful city, right by the Atlantic ocean although not at as charming as Sintra.
Lisbon, ah, Lisbon...we definitively did not have enough time to explore this old and beautiful city. We walked through very steep roas in the Alfama neighborhood. I have never been to San Francisco but Lisbon is supposed to be hillier and much older of course. We visited the maritime museum, one of the best of its kind...James and David loved it. There were many model ships of different eras. The Monastery of St. Jerome was an impressive structure. We loved the food and the prices were more reasonable than in Spain.
