Lisbon, Portugal

Last weekend we spent 3 nights in Portugal! We have been wanting to visit Lisbon since we arrived and after a 7 hour car ride we were finally there. We spent Saturday morning running through the town and enjoyed some great views. We visited some great cafes and enjoyed some good coffee and sweets. We visited the Maritime Museum and Cultural Museum, both very interesting. The Jerónimos Monastery and Santa Maria Church
built in 1501 were both beautiful to walk through. Here are a few pictures from our visit. You will find all of our pictures if you click on the slide show at the top which will direct you to our Picasso with a link to each place we have visited.
