So for New Year's Eve we really didn't do anything. We had lunch at this little diner and spoke Portuguese, Spanish and English with our waiter. After that, we just walked around and explored the little town. We went out to look for a place to eat dinner and just about everything was closed or only having a private dinner; even McDonald's was closed. We finally found a restaurant and it turned out to be really good. I had duck with seasoned rice, not a bad way to end 2008. after our last meal of the year, we walked around some more and found a concert that was taking place in a park. Practically the entire town was there waiting for the new year. We stayed for probably a hour before heading back, right before midnight. The next morning we headed out for Lisbon.
