Monday, August 2, 2004 1:30pm en route to Sintra, near Lisboa
We are approaching Lisboa en route to our B&B near Sintra.
Yesterday we did pretty much nothing but relaxing. Sat by the pool and lounged and chatted most of the day. Michael spoke with Nane most of the day. They exchanged email addresses and got his phone # in Cascais. He went back today also. He may want to come to Canada some time – we can help him plan for sure.
We’re now experiencing the true Portuguese driving as we get nearer to Lisboa! Kyle is navigating while Pat naps. I’m just along for the ride as I keep saying.
We did go see some more ruins yesterday. One stone circle which has not been excavated that Jane knew of and a second one that was marked approx. 3,000 B.C. This one was covered as a cave or dwelling. Incredible that rocks this size could be maneuvered into position.
Now it feels like a modern city. We are about 10K from Lisboa and it is already densely populated and diverse.
