Lisbon, Portugal

We just returned from a fabulous five day vacation to Lisbon, Portugal.  The weather was great, some clouds but warm and mostly sunny.  We ate many good meals including lots of fish, potatoes, greens, eggs, and egg tart pastries.  We walked our butts off on the streets and hills of the town.  On Sunday we took a train 30 minutes outside the city to the historic town of Sintra and hiked all over Quinta da Regaleira, an historic garden estate. 

Alex had a great time running around the city, seeing all the castles, riding on the sightseeing tour bus, looking at the maps, and eating, eating, eating.  Vincent was very good on the plane and in his stroller which he had to stay in most of the time.  Vincent also enjoyed the fish and the yummy potatoes - and some sangria!

Day 1 and 2  Arriving Lisbon in the evening Hotel Aviz, two hour flight from Paris.  Dinner at Faca e Garfo.  Friday - sightseeing tour bus (the Red line), Torre de Belém (Belém Tower), lunch at Aqui Ha Peixe.  Dinner at excellent traditional Portuguese restaurant across the street from our hotel, Xenu Lisbona.  Lots of walking!
