We did get to Coimbra, and wished that we had spent at least one more night there.

My day in Coimbra was compressed as I wasn’t able to getting a morning train ticket from Lisbon. I’m mastering the art of standing in the wrong line. A wonderful guide at my first stop made me a picture map with four 4 vital pictures and told me exactly what to see at each sight. Having a lovely hand painted Portugués plate sent home to replace the Turkish plate that fell off the wall. Good fortune rains on me. ~linda
