Portugal





I love Portugal! From the moment I landed in Lisbon, I fell in love with the vibe of the city, and I know there is so much more along the coast to explore. The people are very friendly and the weather was great. I was there for work for a few days and met some very nice people. The first night, we went to the Barrio Alto where there are narrow cobblestone streets with small restaurants and shops. The next day we ate down near the Ponte 25 de Abril (25th of April Bridge). The bridge was originally named after dictator Salazar, and suspenses across the Tagus River. The name was changed after the revolution of April 25, 1974. Does it look familiar?...maybe like the GG bridge?
