06:10:56 pm Tuesday, December 20, 2005 - Lisbon, Portugal - Sunny, mid 50s.  

I went to the Military Museum in the morning. Deanna stayed in the room resting up for our afternoon walking tour. She did not miss anything. The museum had limited English, and was mainly a collection of weapons, with no insight provided. Like many museums around the world, the building was more impressive than its contents. The walking tour focused on the areas affected by the 1755 earthquake that destroyed the city. While Lisbon was inhabited in the Roman times, it is a relatively new city because the earthquake meant the city started over 250 years ago. We stayed the second of three nights at Clarion Suites Lisbon. Our room has a kitchenette, allowing us to eat breakfast and dinner in the room. After a year of traveling, this is probably the best hotel amenity we could ask for.
