After a much needed 12 hour sleep (really did happen), we spent our second full day with just one planned event and the rest of the day walking around the city.
The day was highlighted by a visit to Livraria Lello & Irmao (Lello Bookstore). It is one of the oldest bookstores in Portugal and worldwide rated as one of the best, but the real draw is that is where JK Rowling would visit and was inspired to write The Harry Potter series. I was more impressed with the fact that this retail bookstore charged a fee (with long lines waiting) to enter to have the privilege to purchase books for a fee…what a business plan!
We were able to avoid the on and off rain most of the day but did end our night running from canopy to canopy to avoid the pouring rain. You know, it’s one of this things you’ll laugh about later on but while it’s happening you’re really pissed. In this case it’s like we were pissed on and have the wet shoes and clothes to prove it…can’t wait to laugh about this one.

I have to say, I’m a little jelly.
