Head start on Camino day one

I decided to walk the 8 km from Lisbon and return by metro to my hotel before I "officially" start my Camino tomorrow.

On the way I visited the National Tile Museum.

After the Tile Museum I was mostly walking through a kind of warehouse district, but discovered an area converted to house some small galleries and eateries.

I ended my walk at the Parque das Nações before heading back to the hotel.

For dinner I discovered a great restaurant right across the street from my hotel, which is located somewhat away from the central tourist areas of Lisbon. When I entered at about 6:15 all the tables had "reserved" signs on them, but I was early enough that they could seat me before those with reservations arrived. It was a Mexican restaurant with a Portuguese flair. Unfortunately, I forgot to take pictures of all the food, but I started with a shrimp tostsdita with avocado, then had yummy tortilla soup, a beef taco, and chocolate mousse with bits of crunchy meringue for dessert.Read more
