Lisbon

Flights were on time and uneventful, just the way they're supposed to be. A quick taxi from the airport and we were at our hotel. After a little rest we went out and picked up a local sim card for Dan. 10 euro for the month including 5gb data.

Walking around before dinner we encountered this big demonstration for animal rights.


Bacalao, Dorado and an eggplant salad.

View from our hotel room's tiny balcony.
Today we walked and visited the money museum, which is fascinating, and the big National Museum of Ancient Art. 
That's a solid gold ingot, which is impressively heavy to lift (visitors can reach in and try).

The Bosch triptych is out on loan so they have this temporary replacement. Not quite the same.

Dinner, wine, and now crashing.
