6:30 AM (GMT – 1) 11:30 PM (PST)

Avery and I share a Taxi ride to the airport with Taylor and Jane.  Although our flight is actually at 9:35 PM we want a chance to see Lisbon so we try to go standby on the 7:45 AM flight.  We make it so we are on our way to Lisbon.  At Lisbon we catch a taxi to the Hotel Alif, clean up and head out in to Lisbon.  First we cross the street to see Bull Fighting Ring and the mall below for a late lunch.  Avery probably had his best meal here.  It’s a stand where you choose the type of fresh pasta you want along with a selection of toppings (cheese, chicken and extra cheese), then a final selection of sauce (tomato for Avery).  The pasta is sauce and toppings are cook in front of you.  Avery snorkels it down.  I have Sopa (beef), I wonder if the bull lost last night.

We look through the mall then take the number 45 bus to Rossio.  Shopping meca. Statues and some incredible buildings.  After 6 hours of wondering the streets of Lisbon we take the blue metro line to the orange line to home.  A very nice day but we are are tired.  More packing, blogging and bed.
