Portugal, Spain & Morocco 2012

NYC First stop NYC-- After navigating the city train system we met our friend, Marie, from Ireland but now lives in NY. We grabbed a quick bite to eat, and then Marie took us on a quick NY tour! We walked through Central Park, Rockerfeller Center, Madison Square Gardens, St. Patrick’s Cathedral and Times Square.    A few trains and a plane later, we had landed in Lisbon, Portugal. We checked into our hotel then wandered down cobblestone streets to find a suggested local restaurant. We then hopped on the double decker tour bus to get a lay of the land. Off to bed early thanks to jet lag!  Day two started with a quick trip to the mall for some shopping! We also toured Belem Tower and had the famous Belem cakes at the pastry shop. Also toured The Monument to the Discoveries, took the elevator to the top and enjoyed the view. We had a bean bag lunch then took the ferry over to Almada to visit the Cristo Rei Statue, which was inspired by the Christ the Redeeme...
