EUROPE SEPTEMBER 2015- PORTUGAL

Lisboa, Portugal's capital city, and banking and manufacturing center. It is a city filled with history and culture, some of it marked by the horrible earthquake of 1755, which leveled two thirds of the city





Convento do Carmo, lost its roof during the 1755 earthquake, but its delicate Gothic arches still stand

 Rossio, Lisbon's historic center

 Rossio Train Station's beautiful facade, circa 1900

 Praca do Comercio (Trade Square)

 Alfama neighborhood, the colorful sailor's quarters, home to fishermen and mariners




Cervejaria de Trindade, the oldest beer hall in Lisbon, happened to be located a few doors from our apartment
 Tasting Ginjinha, a sour cherry liquor, traditionally made by monks
