Lisbon is a favorite ever since we visited it on a Globus coach trip of Portugal and Spain. We arrived a couple of days early for the Globus tour and loved our time here then. The rainbow promised good fortune while the clouds promised damp fortune. We took an umbrella. Good prevailed -- we were not rained on.

Carmo Convent, destroyed in an earthquake in 1755, left without its roof as a reminder of the disaster. The Archeological Museum is now housed within the building.

Igreja de Sao Domingo was not that extraordinary as a church
but I was concerned about it looked like it was falling down, or at least flaking apart
