Not Mayberry

Can a shy, retiring teacher from the big city find true happiness in the small town of Wilkesboro NC, which even the locals call "Moonshine Capital of the World."

The road to Iberia, II ...

... from the little Lisbon airport we caught a cab to our hotel, the Olissippo Marques de Sa. When we checked in the desk clerk was highly amused to tell us our second room was occupied - Joey and Emily had actually pulled themselves out of the Lagos fleshpots to arrive an hour or two before we did.

Later that evening we went for a longish walk around the area and then found a Portuguese restaurant to eat at. It seemed to be a fairly modest little neighborhood place but the food was delicious. I had something called bitoque which is a steak with a fried egg on it. Very good. Carmen had salmon and it was the best I have ever tasted. Also tried the local brew, something called Super Bock. Also very good, especially for the price.

Got back to our hotel, plug in my CPAP machine, and collapsed. A good start to our trip.
