Lisbon’s Line 28
Tram line 28E (“carreira número 28” in Portuguese) is the most popular streetcar route in Lisbon for tourists.

A Different Angle
When life gives you lemons… try a different angle. I know, that’s not how it goes.
Happy Holidays
I want to wish everyone reading this a happy holiday season, however you choose to celebrate it. In the depths of winter here in Canada, we’re glad to take a little break at the end of the year – at least the 25th, 26th and the 1st.
