After a delightful lunch at the Gulbenkian Cafe, we took a cab to the St. George Castle which is up a very steep and winding street. It was built by the Moors in the Middle Ages, never used as a residence, always a fort. Later the Christian kings used it. We climbed up to the parapets and had beautiful views of the Tagus River and Lisbon. We took a cab back to the Four Seasons Ritz, played Mexican Gin in the bar while having a glass of wine and then took a cab to the Biarro Alto to a local restaurant, very nice. A man from our tour who had arrived at the airport when we did joined us for dinner. He is a retired professor of Quantitative Analysis from San Francisco State who grew up in the Middle East as his dad worked for an oil company.
