Lisbon

We leave Porto on a nice sunny day.

The view from our hotel.

Our next stop on the way to Lisbon is Fatima.  Fatima is home to the Sanctuary of Fatima, a Catholic pilgrimage site.  Here we saw people crawling on their knees towards the festivities.  Apparently back in 1917 apparitions of Our Lady of the Rosary appeared to three shepherd children.





The town consists of lots of shops selling all the same thing related to the Sanctuary of Fatima.

Then we arrive in Lisbon at our hotel.

It’s much warmer in Lisbon and we head out towards the river to explore.

There is a weekend market happening.  This mosaic tile pattern can make you feel a bit disoriented!

The jacaranda trees are in bloom and all over the city.  They’re beautiful.



Beautiful tile work.

The gateway to Plaza Espana.  Beautiful city!



The trolleys are popular in Lisbon as it is quite hilly.
