The capital of Portugal had some great sights and amazing architecture, which we viewed from the top of a double-decker bus. Unfortunately we did not do a very good job of taking pictures. Here's pretty much all we've got:
The 6.5 hour drive had really beautiful olive orchards, vineyards, and grassy fields, arguably making Portugal's landscapes superior to those of Spain (Uh...no pictures.)
Surprisingly, everyone's favorite part of the trip was a visit to the Oceanarium where we were able to see amazing species of sea life. Ransom, our little zoologist/marine biologist, was in his element. (Uh...again, no pictures...bad blogger! bad!)
Anyway, despite a few setbacks (getting lost, driving through the "authorized vehicles only" gate (oops), the pre-arranged accommodations falling through, and a lot of walking in search for any sign of fast-food) we had fun exploring a new town and just being with Grammie and Pa!
