Our first full day in Lisbon,  we met the cousins at the airport,  arriving within a few minutes of each other,  1 from Michigan and 1 from California!  Then off to discover our new temporary apartment!  Right across from the cathedral of Lisbon!

We are just a few meters from the famous 28 tram,  right beside the cathedral,   and tuk tuks gather by the cathedral entrance to pick up tours.   For 20€ each (plus a tip)  we had a great hour+  ride with Sha, to see some of the highlights and views of Graça and Alfama, our neighborhood!

Alfama neighborhood itself is a jumble of tiny streets.   I loved walking around it.  The center and heart of the oldest part of the city

Emmett and I walked a bit while the jetlagged new travelers rested a couple hours before dinner

Lunch of tapas and dinner, of course was seafood!
