After two plane rides and a taxi we are in Lisbon. Air Canada gets 4 stars. Excellent food and service.
Temp is around 19c (62 to you continentals), sun is shining. Got a rapid Covid test from a temporary popup lab; 1 hr to results. Could have been faster but the nurse had to go to lunch. And free.
Spent some time in the Gulbenkian Museum near Belém. One of the best art museum collections we've seen anywhere. Rich oil family had a good eye for art. The curators know how to display it all. Everything from 4,000 year old Egyptian obsidian figures to wacky modern pieces all housed in a concrete building surrounded by a beautiful garden. The garden is built with concrete pads at many levels, water features and grassy meadows. The pads are a personal injury lawyer's dream. Never happen at home.
