Weary Travelers

So, we left Portland about 4 on Monday and arrived Lisbon about 4 on Tuesday!  Leaving Portland we were on this little prop plane with propellers whirling!  It was a bumpy ride with alot of turbulance, but we made it!  The flight fom Vancouver to London was 9 hrs. so I was stir crazy by the time we landed!  I tried doing some stretches on the plane but not much room foe that! Amanda managed to sleep pretty well on the plane and I didn't sleep at all. That was bad for me at the time, but Tuesday night I slept very well and Amanda has her sleep schedule kind of confused.  Hopefully tonight she will be back in sync.   Everything went well until we arrived in Lisbon and discovered one of Amanda's suitcases did not.  No problem, they would deliver it the next day....the downstairs bell rang so I unlocked the front door and went to the hallway to direct him up.  We did not think and both ended up in the hallway and as the door slammed we panicked. ..no key, no contact info with us on that side of the door!  We were thankful that the landlord had mentioned that his mother had a medical clinic in the building.  So, we found that and thankfully they had a key!  Not even 24 hours in Portugal!
Today, Claudia and her visitor, Emily, and Amanda and I went to Alfalma.  We walked for about 4 miles, wandering  the little narrow streets...much of it uphill of course!  We had lunch on the street..salmon steaks. Delicious!  We should sleep well tonight.  I will add some pictures so you can see our wanderings..
Tomorrow we plan on our 1st day of service so will tell about that later...all in all another beautiful day in Portugal.
