Thursday, October 24 Lisbon
It was dark by the time we returned from our evening walk, about 7:30 and we were ready for dinner. t’s early to eat – the main restaurants don’t open until after 8:30 or later. So we followed the advice of the receptionist and had dinner in the Bar Tejo. It was a quiet, clubby place for a drink and a meal.

| Local Portuguese sparkling wine |
We started with a local Portuguese sparkling wine; I had gazpacho and a Caesar salad and Michael had a club sandwich. Halfway through our meal, we were treated to a piano player who knew all my favorite tunes from accordion playing days, and he too requests: Never on a Sunday, Fly Me to the Moon, Cherry Pink & Apple Blossom White, It's a Wonderful World. We listened for a while and then headed up to our room for a good night's sleep. I think we will go to see the Maritime Museum tomorrow before we move hotels to join our AIA tour group.

| Artwork at the hotel - painting of the Basilica and the trolley in the evening glow. Perfect ending to our day. |
