This morning we woke up for our Sea day traveling by Gibraltar and through the Straits to arrive in the morning in Lisbon. It was a little foggy so here's my picture of the Rock-
Also there is a brunch onboard today…
Just a few of the stations!NOW ON TO LISBON!
Look familiar? Entering the harbor under the sister bridge to the Golden Gate.
Average residential area
Bull fighting ring. The bull isn’t killed during the fight. That doesn’t mean he doesn’t die though…killed afterwards and the meat is given away. So still not a great outcome for the bull….
Aqueduct 
War memorial with the ever lit flame in the center of the monument
Belem Tower. Since the 16th century it was the site of the explorers embarkation and disembarkation.
While at the tower this little truck pulled up: Wine on the go…brilliant idea!
The Jeronimos Monastery
Beautiful entrance to the Cathedral
The lines for admission went around the block almost.We only looked at the outside, but we visited inside a few years ago when we were here
Just down the street from the Monastery is the original Pasteis maker.. this little custard tart is the delight of heaven!
The mosaic pattern on the central squareWe went around the corner for our shot of GinJin 
A morello cherry liquor 
After drinking your shot you spit the pits of the cherries
Beautiful tile work on building walls throughout the city
Our snack: a pile of grilled sausages, bread and Vino Verde
The Praco do Comercio
We visited a wine tasting room while at the Praco 
Even the roads in Lisbon have tiles 
Walking to the terminal we find more tile work mosaics and artwork. 
Today was a great day for us. With joy we were happy to find that the businesses that we last visited had survived the Covid years and that the city still brought us great happiness. It was fun to revisit the city and we look forward to coming back in the near future !
