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.
