Norm's Search for New Beers

 Norm's search for a new beer every day continues and he's 'ahead of his game' so far! Everything here is abundent be it kinds of beers, new sites, sounds, smells and history.

We're loving every minute but I think today was actually overload -- BIG overload!  We did a City Tour of Lisbon including the tower of Belem, and the Monastery of Jeronimoso in the morning and our guide gave us TONS of history of the city and of Portugal.  so much information, in fact, that my head was spinning. I simply had to stop listening for a while!

Then, in the afternoon, we  traveled outside of Lisbon to three smaller villages.  We explored an ancient 'lighthouse' that I think was in Estrella, lunched on a paella-like seafood & rice dish in Cascais by the sea, then tromped the hills in Sintra for shopping, and another beer for Norm and another lemonada for me. 

The day has now all blended together. I'm going to have to shift through my photos and use a guide book to make sense of it all.  The blog slideshow should give a snippet of what we saw today.  Enjoy!  We certainly did.  :-)

I'm going to bed with todays real 'slideshow' re-playing in my minds-eye.  Ahhhh, La vita è bella.

Arrivederci,

Norm & Nancy
