Lisbon By Night

The city was really turning on as the sun went down, crowds of people, street performers, bright lights, action. We walked a bit, then took the elevator up-town, explored a bit more, and had dinner at the Cervicio Trinidad, a monastery-turned-brewery-turned restaurant that goes back some 700 years. And then, after a long day for us, we headed back on the Metro and the bus.

A side-street, all decorated for Xmas no less

Castle, by night

At the Cerviceria Trinidad, Vicki had the steak and chips, I,the cod and 
potatoes and cheese configuration (and a goat cheese/olive appetizer); 
though criticized as "touristy,"the only language heard was--and the place 
was absolutely packed--Portugese; no tourists in December; the beer was

very good

Interior of the Cerviceria Trinidad; tiles, of course
