Lisbon Arrival

Happy Thanksgiving!!!

We were not very good with the camera yesterday.  We said goodbye to Christin and said hello to Lisbon.  We got to our hotel around 7pm and took a few shots of the room.  The hotel is beautiful - it's an old house that was converted into a 12 room boutique hotel in the Janelas Verdes neighborhood of the city.
This is the view of the courtyard from our room.
This is our room.
And we have another sitting area.
We had dinner at a place that was an old convent.  As soon as you sit down they start bringing you small starter plates of smoked salmon, cauliflower soup, goat cheese wrapped in phyllo with a pumpkin sauce etc.  I was already completely stuffed when they said they had white chocolate mousse for dessert.  I couldn't resist.
This trip is Bill's birthday present from October - you'd think with almost two months of planning we would have one a little research but once I booked the flight and the hotel I didn't give it another thought until now.  We have no idea what to see or do here so let's hope it's blog worthy!!
