what a beautiful city, and nice weather too. reminded us of san francisco in looks and weather-even has a bridge resembling the golden gate! we stayed in a pension right off the main square which seemed to be the heart of lisbon. preparations for carnaval were being made and we saw so many cute kids all decked out in their costumes. as to compound our slight homesickness, we also saw some adults dressed up a'la folsom street fair... :) we have also enjoyed the reprieve from the 5 times a day 'call to prayer,' but are off to morocco next and will soon be reminded of how much we loved it... :) all in all, we are having a great time and can't believe our trip is soon coming to a close.
