Arrival in Lisbon

 

We arrived about noon and miraculously our room was ready, so we caught a nap. I explored the neighborhood to find that the Altis Grand Hotel was 2 blocks from Independence Avenue, the major street in the downtown area and about 3 blocks from the Botanical Garden.

That evening we met the group over some port wine. We had dinner in a nearby restaurant 39 Steps, a converted movie theater named for the movie by Alfred Hitchcock. Beautiful building with reasonable prices.
