April 29th. Another beautiful day for exploring Lisbon, Today we took the metro and the tram to the Belem area of Lisbon. We first went to the Belem tower which is a very ornate tower done in a typical Portuguese architectural style common around the 17th century. The tower was used to shoot unfriendly ships with canon fire and had a dungeon for those they captured. Our second stop was the San Jeranomo Monastery. This is a huge place built in the same ornate style as the tower, After this we stopped by the famous Patis da Belam for one of their pastries- a must do when in Lisbon. Our last stop was the Electricity Museum- a must see for George.

We plan on meeting a man that was on the ship with George for dinner tonight. I need a nap before then. Fun day but exhausting.
