Leighton, Congratulations to you and your girlie on the twentieth. Looks like you two had great fun in Lisbon on the celebration of your promises. Great story in itself.
I have a friend I used to work with whose wife is from Spain. They lived and worked from Miami for a time but his wife got homesick. He told me he didn't really mind going back to Spain because that meant he would be able to go to Portugal more frequently and easily to eat and drink the wonderful food and wine.
Fantastic pics, as usual for you and your wife. The art is tremendous. Bosch alone will suck you down a beautiful rabbit hole. The Dutch Masters are my favorite group and time. I've stood in front of their work with my jaw dropped in several museums around Europe.
Again, Congratulations on the celebration of your marriage, unsullied by humanity, nature and time.

Leighton - grand congrats to you and your lady at your 20th, and for celebrating in such fine style. You both look wonderful.
Of course, thanks for the excellent photo album and travelogue. The scenes of Lisbon look much the same as when I last visited, and the museum photos especially touching. I well remember that one ancient triptych. You captured it all so well.
The last few took me back to sights in the Algarve - some interesting windy high bluffs and endless Atlantic.
Thanks again.

Thanks, gents. CCCC/Paul, leave it to you to know what a triptych is.  Hey, my man New_2_99s, where are the Ozzie shots? I know you're holding back. Let's have 'em!

Magnificent! Yours is a love story worthy of a celebration in Lisbon. Always look forward to seeing Miss G's smile in your posts; truly the brightest light of this forum. The sights, the food, the history...what a great way to spend your anniversary. Well done, yet again!
p.s. did I see salt cod in those pics? I assume it's a preservative, but how do you reconstitute the fish and get that salty briney flavor out?
