Lisboa


The next day, we took off for Lisbon. Since we arrived rather late at our apartment, we just went to the supermarket to buy some groceries and then back home to cook. It was a nice and relaxing night, allowing us to rest before another long day of sightseeing.

The sights included, el Torre de Belém, the Monastery, Pasteis de Belém, the Castle of St. Jorge, and dinner in downtown Lisbon. My favorite parts were trying out the famous pastries at Pasteis de Belém and exploring the Castle of St. Jorge. At the castle, we saw this beautiful white peacock…absolutely gorgeous. If only it had opened its feathers!



The following day, on our way out from Lisbon, we stopped by Christo Rei. It’s basically a gigantic statue of Jesus by the river with his arms outstretched. 


 Doesn't that bridge look kind of like the Golden Gate? Beautiful views from up there.
