More from San Fran... I mean Lisbon...

So... Dee and I have made it back home to Ireland. We had a wonderful time in Portugal, and I think that the time away was really well timed and needed! Spending some time resting and playing with our friends was exactly what the doctor ordered!

It will take me a bit to finish sharing about our time there... we did so much and took so many photos... So, bare with me the next couple of days as I post some more about our time there...


In my last post I shared about the Golden Gate bridge in Lisbon... well, there were some other cool links with San Fransisco. Lisbon has a trolley system much like the one in San Fran.. In fact, many of the trolleys still going are "vintage". Taking a lift on one of these classic old electric tram cars (with their wooden interiors and old-style controls) is like taking a ride back in history. If, however, you take into consideration all of the hills in Lisbon and extremely narrow streets they are often more like riding a vintage roller coaster. You really did have to keep your hands and heads inside the car at all times!

Here are a few pics...
