We woke up fairly groggy, but ready to hit the streets of Lisbon. Our flat overlooks a bustling square filled with tourists, protesters, and other people who maybe know the significance of the statue in the center of it. It's pretty, in a very convenient location, and has a good breakfast location right downstairs, so we're happy.
We covered almost 10 miles, including the Baixo, Chiado, and Alfama neighborhoods. It was a pretty windy day, but quite warm otherwise. The castle was pretty cool and had amazing views of the city. Portugal is known for their tiles and many buildings have beautiful tiled facades.
The Portuguese are definitely serious about their coffee and have more places to get some than Seattle. Just about every 10 feet and at all times of day there are people sitting out in cafes sipping coffee. We've been quite grateful for the caffeine given that our bodies have no idea whether they should be awake or sleeping. These are our 'large' coffees with milk.
For dinner, we went to a fabulous place, Largo, and dined next to a tank full of swimming jelly fish. The tank lights changed colors every couple minutes which made the jellies look extra cool.
