Lisbon was a fascinating visit for me. The old city was teeming with immigrants from Africa, Brazil, and Macau. An African-looking asked for directions, but I said in basic Portuguese, "Não falo português" (I don't speak Portuguese). He said, "Não?" (No?). With my family, I ate at Pizza Hut or Domino's Pizza a pizza loaded with onions. There were antique buildings galore. The sidewalks were laden with red bricks. A tube man, a skydancer, flailing about was a memorable sight in the evening.
