We've been home for a few days now, enjoying the afterglow of a really special trip. Before we close the book on this adventure, a couple more Lisbon experiences worth sharing!**An Evening of Fado**Fado is Portugal's wonderfully expressive traditional music, born in the working-class neighborhoods of 19th-century Lisbon. Its songs often explore love, loss, and *saudade*—that distinctly Portuguese feeling of longing and nostalgia.We knew we didn't want to miss a Fado evening, and after some research chose Senhora do Fado (Lady of Fado), tucked away on a quiet street in Lisbon's hills. The intimate setting felt authentic, the audience was an interesting mix of nationalities, and they offered plant-based dining. Win, win, win!Between dinner courses, the lights dimmed and the room fell completely silent as the singers and musicians performed. Not a whisper or clinking glass—just everyone completely absorbed in the music. It was a wonderful experience and one of our favorite evenings in Lisbon.**An Afternoon at MUDE**Another afternoon we wandered into MUDE, Lisbon's Museum of Design, just around the corner from our hotel. It's housed in a former bank, complete with its original vault and massive fortified door. Jon, being a bit of a safe nerd, was fascinated and had great fun explaining all the locking mechanisms to me. Very cute!We especially enjoyed the modern furniture in the "What Are Things For?" exhibit. As mid-century design fans, much of it was pure eye candy. The fashion collection was fun too, with everything from elegant to outrageous creations by some of the world's best-known designers.The final surprise was the rooftop terrace, with fabulous views of the grand arch at Praça do Comércio and Lisbon's surrounding hills. A lovely ending to an afternoon of exploring!#PassageForTwo #adventureofalifetime #portugal #fado ... See MoreSee Less
