Cable Cars

Lisbon from the top of Marques Pombal Park, looking to the River Tejo

The Castle Snt. Jorge

Lately, Jared and I have been spending our weekends walking in Lisbon and sightseeing. We have been to lots of Museums, famous buildings, theaters, parks, Cathedrals, and last Saturday we visited the Castle! (Click here for photos!) Since Jared works all day during the week, the weekends are our time to explore. To see lots of random Lisbon photos, click here. We have found a great place to eat and drink in Cais do Sodre right across from the ferry station called O'Gilan's. It a little Irish Pub, but the people are super nice and the food is amazing! Mainly though, we spend our days walking and discovering new areas and shops. Lisbon is actually quite small and you can walk almost anywhere. Though, we have passes that are good for the ferry, Metro, and buses, so when we need to go anywhere past the downtown area, we ride the Metro. We have jumped on the old cable cars that are everywhere in Lisbon, too - just because they are cute and in every post card you see! Jared's research is going well and my Portuguese is alright. Not great, but its coming.

Ciao till next time!
