5/7/22 Lisbon

Took the 12E tram today to the Castle stop. As we walked up the hill just before the castle is a public urinal which is a metal screen where you just pee into a drain. This is wrong on so many levels and no I did not use it…..yet

We walked down a bit to the Miradouro Santa Luzia lookout for some nice views.

Headed further down to the Lisbon Cathedral to get our first stamp on our “Credencial del Peregrino”. We start from here tomorrow. Shouldn’t be too hard, just follow the yellow arrows, right?

We took the 28E tram to Campo Orique to have a meal at the food market. Turns out that Lisbon was playing Porto in football and everyone was hanging out. Cool.

Can you spot Beth in this picture. Hint: there is a wine bar.

When we got back to the plaza outside the hotel. I asked a guy if we can share the table he was at and we spent the next hour and half talking to Ricardo who is a doctor in Lisbon. Great evening, great conversation. He would like to visit NY someday so Beth shared her Instagram account with him and said he is welcome anytime.

Hope tomorrow goes well. Good night.
