Portugal - Day 5

Day 5 - Last day in Lisbon

We had the entire day to do whatever, so Jared and I went to the Lisbon Aquarium with 2 very nice couples, Jim and Cindy and Nancy and Rufus. If you didn't know us, based on our ages, would have looked like we were a family (besides looking nothing alike). There was grandma/grandpa, mom/dad and son/daughter. The aquarium is the 2nd largest in the world, and was very big, but to be honest, I wasnt' all that impressed. Of course, it didn't help that my stomach was not doing so well that day. Good thing we were in a public place that had bathrooms readily available and I didn't have to pay to use them! But hey, 1 day out of 10 in a foriegn country...it could have been worse :) Thank goodness for Imodium AD is all the more I have to say about that!




Our last dinner in Lisbon was at the Leziria Ranch. Basically, it's an equestrian park, but restaurant also. Everything is done by one family - the horse training, entertainment, music, dancing, and food.


Upon our arrival, we were serenaded(?) by this cute band
After some appetizers, we watched a horse show. All the riders were dressed in costume like this and the horses could do some amazing things. I wish I had taken pictures of the show.

After another delicious dinner we enjoyed some dancing and music.
