In fact, Lisbon today felt easier on this traveler than it was way back in the mid 80's. Far fewer beggars, far less graffiti and way less car pollution. Our streetcar ride out to the Jeronimos Monastery was one of the highlights. And the little #37 minibus that winds its way through the Alfama all the way up to the Castle was a fun experience too. I sure won't leave it another 25 years before I head back to this warm, welcoming and totally delightful city.
