LISBOA

A lot of rain today, we did not bother walking out of the Hotel till almost 5pm. Did have a great breakfast - lots of Salmon, Brie and double espressos. When we did go out we walked to the Principe neighborhood. A more upscale and calmer  area than Bairo Alto - We had dinner at a very small pizza place with beers, trying out the Super Bock. It's stronger than Sagres beer, but again very nice taste. Did go into a couple of nice shops but most items way too big to take back in our luggage. The most remarkable shop was one that is inside an old Arabic castle.  The shops are all inside what would have been the rooms, with the common center space that could have been a garden area was made into a garden type restaurant.  The entire building is dedicated for local designers and artists to sell their items. There was also local artist's paintings on the walls. The walk around at night time allowed us to see a different side of the town.  There is a slow, calm and happy pace to life.
