We spent Christmas Eve day wandering through the shops in Lisbon. Not much exciting to report, but I wanted to share a few photos from our holiday.
Jay found a Medieval Tavern for lunch and we ordered a chorizo sausage that you cook over a fire at your table.Headed to dinnerLily found this outfit while shopping. So stinking cute.Massive tree in the Praça do ComércioOf course we had to get a selfie from inside the tree. We had this picture printed on a tile as a souvenir.Beautiful And sassyChristmas Eve dinner reservations at RIB Beef & Wine. The kids were not so sure about having a set menu, but they tried (and actually liked) most things on the menu. The dessert room was by far their favorite!
Christmas Day lunch was a buffet at the hotel, full of traditional Portuguese dishes. There were lots of different salads (not the leafy kind, think grains), baby goat, ham, fruits, and desserts.
We finally wandered through the Winter Wonderland on our last evening in Lisbon. It was a Christmas market/carnival. We had one more shot of Ginjinha – a delicious cherry flavored liquor, mine served in a chocolate cup.Feliz Natal!! merry Christmas!
Tomorrow we pick up a rental car and head south toward Algarve. We are taking the long way there, along the coast. Stay tuned!
