Fado and Farewell

After breakfast at the great Pousada inside Obidos, we rode our motorcycles through the cobblestone streets and out of the walls of the walled city to head to Lisbon.

We returned our motorcycles, checked in at our hotel, had lunch and our deep-and-painful COVID tests.  All negative ... we are clear to fly back to the USA.

We walked down to town, had gelato, visited some stores, and met up with Andy after we split 3-days ago.  

At night, we went to a great Fado show at the well respected O Faia.  Great music, great singers, great 12-string Portuguese guitar, great food, great service and our last dinner together as a group. It was great meeting Paola, Armando's wife, who joined us for dinner.

Wow. What an amazing 10-day adventure in an amazing country this has been. We are leaving with a broader view of the world, expanded hearts, greater love for our fellow humans, and happier than when we arrived.

Farewell Portugal. We will be back.
