Day 6 in Lisbon

   Our last full day in Lisbon and we are finally greeted by sunny, blue skies.  Cindy and I hiked up the hill to explore the Carmo Convent.  Let me start by saying it boggles my mind how these stone cathedrals were built hundreds of years ago.  I am not an engineer or architect, but still, how did they create such elaborate structures that have withstood (for the most part) the tests of time?  Cindy fell in love with the fat cat within the convent walls, who is obviously cared for by the staff.  We witnessed some of the staff leaving at the end of their shift and the cat wailed and cried she might not eat again for another 15 minutes!
  Later we took a couple Lime scooters and cruised up and down the river like some misfit biker gang.
​   Finally, we enjoyed a small Fado show not far from our hotel.  The guitar players were absolutely amazing, not to mention the singers.
