Our last day in Lisbon. Tara was still feeling sick, so she spent the day in the hostel again. In the morning, I helped a couple visiting from Charlotte to find a flight to Spain and to book it. They were sweet, but not technically savvy. We talked with them about the hurricane.

Phyllis and I walked in the Bairro district. We visited the Covento do Carmo, Praca Luis de Camoes, and Praca de Figueira. Here I had to sit down, as I felt like I was finally getting sick (amazed I didn't catch what everyone else had until my last day). I did get a bad cold, but luckily not covid.

Then on to Marim Moniz plaza, Praca dos Restauradores, Avenida da Liberdade, and Praca Marques de Pombal. We visited a park next to the square and then took the metro home. At this point we are "citied" out. This has been a lot of time in a city for me. I rarely spend much time in cities on vacation, preferring to hike instead.

We were craving veggies and couldn't find a restaurant near us that served salad. We ended up back at the grocery store, and I bought some frozen veggies for dinner. 

I flew home the next day, and as luck would have it, we got our water back the day I returned. It's not potable, but at least its water!

This is a drink in Portugal. 
I was feeling too sick to want to try it
