A few extra pics to start with from our cruise last night on Lake Alqueva and our feast at Restaurante Sem-Fim. And a couple more from Monsaraz, the cromeleques of Xerez and the Alentejo countryside.

To Lisbon today after an early (that means 8am) breakfast for painting from the miradouro (lookout) at São João de Alcântara in the Bairro Alto.

Our Iberian Interude ended with dinner at Clube de Fado in the Alfama and a chance to hear some wonderful Portuguese music.  Back to our hotel (Lisboa Plaza – highly recommended) at midnight.

Now for Morocco!  A new blog will begin on Tuesday.
