Rain! Still, we visited the Quinta da Regaleira home and gardens about 20 minutes outside the historic district of Sintra. Just up the hill a bit further was the Tivoli Hotel, formerly a Palacio, where we glimpsed the gardens. After dinner back in the historic downtown, we tried a pathway bypassing the usual route back to our hotel, and discovered a lovely park. While we were in the parlor at the hotel, new friends Iris and Marilyn from London checked in with tales of the very wet day.
