Baltimore, Camden, Monterrey, Barcelona, Osaka, Cape Town, and now Lisbon. We have become aquarium connoisseurs over the years, and Lisbon's did not disappoint. Jr said it ranked somewhere up with Osaka and Baltimore.
Continuing on the fish theme, after we watched them swim in big tanks, we ate some for lunch. Portugal's version of fish and chips is called "bacalhau" and it was yummy.
There was also a tram around the peaks of the old Alhambra section of the city, some beautiful churches, and some lovely hill street walking. We were back on the ship early for Grandpa to give a lecture on the history of jazz for the community-sourced Explorer Seminars, then Sr headed back out with an onboard friend for a quick tour of the old city evening life before we sailed at 2300 for France. We have a whole two days at sea before reaching Le Havre, in the Normandy region of France. Some people are heading for Paris, others will explore the countryside. We are splitting up to do both--Grandpa is going to Paris, the rest of us may head for Honfleur and other picturesque spots you can see in impressionist paintings.
Pics: Cool fish, pretty fish, yummy fish, and the old city tram.
