Lisbon!

Lisbon was gloriously beautiful - the streets made of mosaic bricks - undulating patterns in cream, black and white.

The weather was perfect when we left the airport and explored the old part of the city with its castles and arches near the sea. We enjoyed fresh fruit as we strolled towards the large square beside the sea.

Grandiose monuments and gushing fountains were the centerpiece a of every open space we came upon.

Our visit was very brief as we had to get back to catch our plane to Spain, but Lisbon, I think I'll be back! 

Now we are very tired but we made it to Barcelona!! 

We are hitting the hay early tonight so we can start exploring Barcelona early tomorrow. Our air bnb host is very friendly and he lives right at the point in the city where the old city meets the new. Gaudi's Familia Sagrada is 30 mins on foot. This is the view from my bedroom window:
