This day we went to something called Museu Nacional dos Coches located in the Belem district of Lisbon, Portugal. The museum was created in 1905 by Queen Amelia to house an extensive collection of carriages belonging to the Portuguese royal family and nobility. This museum is apparently the most visited museums in Lisbon, so I guess that’s why we were there?
The PCP might stand for People’s Communist Party but what else would it be if not the people’s party? Could the Forbe’s list of prominent CEO’s have their own party? OK, it might be the Portuguese Communist Party. Someplace in Lisbon photo op.
Actually this is Jeanne next to one of the many lion sculptures at the Monastery of Jeronimos, Lisbon, Portugal. The monastery sits on the original church grounds where Vasco da Gama spent the night in prayer before departing on his expedition to the Orient in 1497. Four years later construction of the monastery was started; completed about 100 years later, it was used by monks whose role it was to pray for the King’s eternal soul and to provide spiritual assistance to navigators and sailors who departed from the port of Restelo to discover lands around the world.
