Portugal history 102

This morning we boarded a bus and headed to Belam, a cultural area three miles from town.  Christina, our tour guide, gave us a college history course of Portugal in 45 minutes.  It was fascinating.  In 1500, they ruled the seas.  Here's a picture...

Later we went to a large church and cloister.  Next stop was a large art museum... I opted out, choosing to return to my hotel and have lunch at my favorite restaurant Ribadouro.  
We leave Lisbon tomorrow, so I wanted one more afternoon in town.  Tonight is a group dinner and fado singing... it's gonna be a late night.
