Okay, Lobo Mau and Matt-can you help me out? I want to go back to my old school in Carnaxide. It is no longer being used but I still want to find it. I am having a hard time finding Carnaxide on the maps that I have. Where is Carnaxide in respect to where I'll be staying (Chiado)?

uh, Duh! This would be in Lisbon, Portugal. Thanks!

namaka. The Lisbon streets maps are useless, because Carnaxide is outside Lisbon. To arrive there, you need a car and a road map. Carnaxide is on A5 Lisbon-Cascais highway, take the 2nd exit after Monsanto forest.
From Marques de Pombal roundabout (on the top of Av. da Liberdade and bottom of Edward 7th park) is 4 or 5 miles in straight line.
I think you know that St Columbans is now the CAISL (http://www.caislisbon.com) with a different name and a different location)

How about at the same time (perhaps the evening) a reunion of us three for dinner?

Matt

Yes Lobo mau, I am aware that it is no longer St. Columbans. In fact, I will be there during an any year reunion.Thanks for the info. I figured I would spend at least 2 to 3 days renting a car to see the old haunts such as the old school, house, etc.
Matt- I would love to dine with you and Lobo but must definitely have to bring the rest of the family, so I suppose I should consult them first. I will get back to you on that one.
Lastly Lobo, you seem very familiar with the school;is there anything else you can tell me about it?
