xxx, in response to your question about rain, there was very little. I think it rained once on the entire trip and then for a few hours. The weather was gorgeous, 60 to 70's and sunny every day. I don't think you will have any problems. Sunday was the worst day for traffic. I assume everyone was out enjoying the day. <BR>Are you going to the azulezos museum? Do so, if you have any interest at all. It was charming. I picked up some tiles at the flea market, too. That was held on Sunday in Lisbon next to the Se. It is a pretty small market, but, did have some interesting things and lovely handmade crafts. <BR>Enjoy! And, please do a trip report that I may revisit my beloved Portugal.

Please, Rex, with all due respect, post your own thread on which to promote your trip. I've been getting helpful information via this thread and you have contributed nothing of value.

Assuming that the original post, and the one immediately before this one are from the same person (this is a problem with &quot;xxx&quot; posts), then I will apologize, and e-mail this to Fodors, asking them to remove from this thread all references to the trip I am hoping to plan.<BR><BR>In my defense, there is a fairly well-established tradition for others with similar questions to &quot;hop on&quot;, since after all, my question would have the exact same title as yours.<BR><BR>But questions about your itinerary are taking on a focus which is different from the broader question I was asking, so I will ask that my posts be removed, including this one.<BR><BR>There is much more that could be said about posts that were here over the weekend and removed by Fodors, but it would only serve to distract tthis thread. Even this message would have made more sense to send to you privately, but I do not know who you are, nor how I might write to you.<BR>
