It's hilly and cosmopolitan, and the river Tajo runs past it. Looking at Portugal it is incredible to realize that this is the land that gave the world: Magellan, Vasco do Gama, Henry the Navigator, Carmen Miranda, Antonio Salazar, Steve Perry, and a host of others so numerous it makes you wonder why this little country? How about inventions? The astrolabe, the galleon, the first airship - come on...marmalade and tempura!
OK, an amazing place. If you ever get the chance - go to Portugal.

| In the Palace Yard... the largest square in Europe, sits King Jose I. We had a wonderful lunch off the piazza and enjoyed another 4 star day! |

| The view from the second story walkway. The detail in the carvings is amazing! |
I hope you like the pics.
