Day 7 in Lisbon

The beautiful weather I expected all along showed up today !!! What a day it was, just what I ordered!!! Sun sun and more sun but not hot, late spring like… given that i did not stop walking all day except for food and drink and some interesting sceneries… This is a place where everything is built to attract tourists from around the world.. People are polite and helpful and food is excellent… Prices are ok, affordable, at least to us Americans !! It seems to me that this time of the year, every restaurant moves their tables outside if they have space that is… the waiters are trying their best to sell you their place and on and on … It is a food war of some sort, no weapons, just knives and forks!!! I did eat outside today not far from my hotel… a Portuguese paille la… I did have coffee stops.. i also found a Starbucks near my hotel … once again they rent or own the best space in town … I have noticed that about most Starbucks around the world, they have the best spaces: large, wide open spaces!! How they can afford that selling just coffee beats me!! 
Tomorrow is still Lisbon so more stuff to see …
