We walked all over Lisbon - the city of seven hills. It’s definitely a compact city, but the hills make it a bit more challenging. T-man was a trooper and had a great day. Things we saw:
- Praça Luis de Cameos
- Convento do Carmo (ruined church that was destroyed in the 1755 earthquake)
- Rossio - square where T-man found a knife that kept him motivated throughout the day
- Rua Augusta in the Baixa area
- Rua Augusta Arch
- Praça do Comércio
- Ice cream on the way to the castle
- Se Catedral (we sat in front having ice cream)
- Castle of Sao Jorge - some great views of the city and some nice history as well
- Miradouro das Portas do Sol for another view of the city (seeing a parade of men on horseback go by)
- Walking around the historic Alfama district and grabbing a late lunch
- Walking back to the condo via the Baixa district where we saw a religious procession for thre Corpus Christi holiday
- Marshall and I having a drink at the Santa Catarina viewpoint watching the sunset
- Dinner at 10:30 in Bairra Alta - followed by a quick walk around to see all the partying in the street - D-man did this last night with Marshall on the way to the store - he was enthralled both nights

Walking around Bairra Alta (the night before they were trying to get Marshall and D-man in the bars) does he really look 18??? (No)
