As you can see from the title, we had a full day of churches, activities, sightseeing and eating.

We started off the day with breakfast at the hotel, and it was quite a spread – a full American breakfast.

Then it was off to the Convent of St, Vincent where there was mass at 9:30am. I stayed for a while to enjoy the peacefulness of the inside of the church.

The prayers are all in Portuguese, so I can’t really follow along, but I could enjoy the alters and the architecture of the buildings.

I love the carvings on the outside, and our guide Teresa is extremely  knowledgeable about the history of Lisbon.
