Our last day in Lisbon. Today's highlight was the local market. Always love the beautiful flowers in markets around the world. Ken Krohn Shelton: Is this an old family business? The biggest hit of this market: the nuts and dried fruits and veggies.

Nothing like a couple of hours in a TukTuk on a cool Wednesday morning! Our hotel is in a great spot. We are across from a square, where the trolleys pass by and pick up passengers. Some sights around town. Roman Ruins. Love the tile on the outside of houses. Love the side streets and steps -- everywhere. The tiles on the walls are so pretty. Beloved Fado Singer: Amalia Rodrigues  The Castle. Looks like the Bridge of Sighs. And, now we are in Paris? Parliament. Haven't done this yet.

What started out to be a beautiful morning turned into a rainy, cold afternoon.  Early morning Lisbon, on the way to the Metro and train stations  We have gotten good at the metro. Took the metro to the train and headed 3.5 hours to Porto. The scenery along the way was gorgeous, as well as the town. (The train windows were sooooo dirty...no great pictures.) Unfortunately, most of the town of Porto was closed due to Fat Tuesday. Hardly anyone was around. I guess they were saving themselves for nighttime activities! We were hoping to get great pictures of the Duoro River and all the fabulous bridges from the train. Didn't work so well.
