Arrived Lisbon

“We travel not to escape life, but for life not to escape us.” – Anonymous After 26 hour delay in PHL airport arrived Lisbon and got to Air BnB around 11a. Arlene Genovese and I spent the day exploring and getting acclimated by walking up one steep cobblestone street after another. Went to the Se De Lisboa Cathedral and got the first stamp in our credentials and met a fellow peregrino, Trent from New Zealand. Spent time at an old convent with a roof top terrace that had fabulous views of the city and also an art gallery featuring the artist Santiago Belaqua. Enjoyed a great meal and Vino Verde wine which is wine made with very young grapes (green grapes) it was very good. Tomorrow we start walking to Porto where Arlene’s husband, sister, and sister-in-law will join us for the 2nd half of the Camino.Read more
