Today we drove from Evora to Lisbon via Sintra but due to a time warp we ended up in a version of San Francisco.
That's the Ponte 25 de Abril. Looks vaguely familiar, no?
Turns out it was built in the 60's by the American Bridge Company that built....you guessed it....
the San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge. Ha! Got you there. You thought I was going to say the Golden Gate Bridge, huh?
Anyway, we had lunch in Sintra after touring the National Palace which we had to see because there is a Magpie Room wherein the ceiling is covered with ......
Swans! Ha! Got you again. There IS a Swan Room but we were more interested in the Magpie Room.
We also had our hearts set on visiting the toy museum, but apparently it closed just about a month ago so no luck there. So back into Lisbon to stroll around the waterfront and to have a nice dinner in a quaint little place.
(Oh, and when we checked into the hotel, I flipped on the TV only to land on a music video channel playing.....you guessed it....."All About That Bass".....no really. Not kidding this time. )
