Exploring Lisbon, Portugal
Besides going to the market tour and cooking class in Lisbon, we also visited the famous Jeronimos Monastery and Cabo da Roca, which is the far western point of the continent. Love the pretty lighthouse and the cool looking rocks. Thank God for allowing us into the monastery since we got there when it is almost closing time. Even we have very little time to walk around, we were able to take some good pictures without too many people in the background. Then we were able to try the renowned Pasteis de nata at Pasteis de Belem, very yummy

While we were in Lisbon, we signed up for a market tour and a cooking class.

Then we went back to the kitchen to prepare the 4-course meals. We also learned to open our own oyster and fileting the fish. We had a lot of fun and met people from around the world.
