LISBON

Lisbon is great! The people are friendly, helpful and tolerant of Americans who order food not knowing what they will get...my steak wasn't that bad however the egg was a surprise:) Deanne is getting calluses on her fingertips so she is soaking her fingers in warm water preparing for tomorrow's blogging...Adriana Huffington move over! We are having a lot of fun. We don't look too out of place in cargo pants, UV shirts, hiking boots and hats. I think we will do better in the country which is tomorrow. We hit the train again tomorrow however no sleeper this time, not that we had one last time...what a trip. After two nights of no sleep, we figured we would just pass out on the train being lulled to sleep by the steady clicking of the intervals between the rails...no such luck. We screetched our way over the mountains in 100 degree heat with no ability to open a window nor the desire to leave the door open. It was so bad it was almost camp. The good news is we know we can go three days with almost no sleep, some bread and cheese and a good sense of humor. We miss you all and hope life is treating you well except for Jerry and Joe. We don't miss you at all and hope your golf gets worse than it already is:) BY the way those girls wanted to type my papers!!! :) See you all.
