When we were in Lisbon we visited the Museu Calouste Gulbenkian – there were great pieces of art there too. I had read about the town of Evora and wished to go there, but we did not have a car, and took a bus tour to a closer town. Lisbon is such a beautiful city – I loved it there.Vagabondehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10774109692564954568noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2993237500972166102.post-26897256283606648212014-09-25T03:40:44.777+01:002014-09-25T03:40:44.777+01:00Hi Val.

I love archeology and learning about the past in this way...as we have been doing in Rome on our holiday. I have not heard of Our Lady of Carmo. The church does vary from country to country. Your friend Eva looks fun - I'll bet you had a great time together. I am home now, with jet lag, but enjoyed my holiday too. xxxPatriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11685403215601517267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2993237500972166102.post-54997188770985337342014-09-24T01:43:02.827+01:002014-09-24T01:43:02.827+01:00Your photos are wonderful my friend.
