Went to listen to #fado music at Pavo in the former red light district. This group was better than they sound here. Also not exactly brilliant cinematography. Anyway, it was like #zorbathegreek met #edithpiaf, but in a good way!. (at Pink Street, Lisboa) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0wppqInniD/?igshid=1ub6pzc450f1e

And today I stumbled upon the Galeria de Arte Urbana. #streetart #graffiti #urbanart (at Lisbon, Portugal) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0wmzPTnEG9/?igshid=gvx9zxn3ni87

Check out the carny atmosphere at this canned sardine store. Yes. They only sell canned sardines. #gottaloveportugal https://www.instagram.com/p/B0whU88HrpY/?igshid=19gigc04z8lde

Today was mostly for #tootling! I was not disappointed. Nothing like a living statue of St. Francis attempting a gang sign to start your day! #beepbeepbeepdownsesamestreet (at Lisbon, Portugal) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0v0UiPHW2E/?igshid=1e097xxo6oe92

Look at this syllabub of a building! #rococo (at Lisbon, Portugal) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0vuVFyHwPg/?igshid=1otmgxstw24uf

At Bebedouro for a snack. Mushrooms and spicy sausage sauteed in moscatel: and of course the traditional couvert of bread, olives, croquettes with mustard, and olive oil. #noms (at Bebedouro, Wine and Food) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0vthJwHpWf/?igshid=k4qx0usfy6fs

Had a #spooky day at the Chapel of Bones in Évora. It is said that one of the locals was a little too helpful when they were restoring the chapel and the bones from the local cemetery weren't providing quite enough building material. But that's just gossip... #spoopy #scaryskeletons #wheredidyou getTHAT? #JasonMichaelandFreddy #Whereiseveryone https://www.instagram.com/p/B0tlITtnbpi/?igshid=764rjg8l3hsf

More #spookiness Here are the megaliths/stone circle and #neolithic tomb near Évora (more like in the middle of a cork plantation). I was not transported to 18th century Scotland to be wooed by Jamie Fraser when I placed my hands on the easternmost #megalith. #probablyneedtodothatonthesolstice #Outlander (at Évora District) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0tnZi0H0Pm/?igshid=mpa2bbbm7mnt

My walking tour took over 13000 steps and the equivalent of 21 floors. I'm pooped! (at Lisbon, Portugal) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0q1MvHH79c/?igshid=xxm3xcx9u1tr

I have been in Lisbon for just under 24 hours and have already taken 3 showers. This thing is heaven. I particularly like the waterfall feature. 10/10 will recommend this place just for the shower. Lost Lisbon R. Esperanca do Cardal 5, in case you are wondering. (at Lisbon, Portugal) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0q09SdHzzl/?igshid=1x6vwntvxyhup

White sangria, mozzarella salad and "little salties," a selection of deep fried yummies. Beef samosa, cod croquette, sausage sticks, and potato/shrimp balls. Perfect after my 4 hour stroll. (at Praça da Liberdade (Porto)) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0laTS8n5oj/?igshid=51by1wsayug4

This is right above what looks like a dive bar that is likely frequented by #streetartists A vague shout out to Chuck Close maybe? Each tile is a composition in itself, which then creates a larger picture. (at Porto, Portugal) https://www.instagram.com/p/B0lW3atn-Lb/?igshid=hqoomzd3ecu9
