PORTUGALLLLLL!!!
Yesterday we got off of the plane after 15 hours of travel – where all we did was play video games (not interesting). After the plane we were too tired to do much except walk to the apartment and go to the grocery store. We got Jello and sandwich materials, among other things. Today though, on our first day in Lisbon, Portugal, we had lots of fun.
We went to the castle of São Jorge (St George). We toured the courtyard and Dad, my brother Fisher, and our au pair, Emily went onto the inner walls. I sat in the sun and read.

See if you can spot me (hint: orange sweatshirt)
Then we walked around and saw a building that looked like the Notre Dame. Portugal copies like, every famous monument that I know of. I.e., there was a Portuguese Golden Gate Bridge, Christ The Redeemer, Arc of triumph, etc. etc. Aaaaaanyways, There was a Notre Dame copy that looked very similar.

This is kinda what it looked like. Oh wait, this is exactly what it looked like. It’s a photo. And there are trams in front.
We also saw lots of Tuk Tuks. I have mentioned those before:
Anyway. . . This is us standing in the main square of Lisbon.
This is Fisher elbowing me in the stomach in the main square of Lisbon.
Then we saw the Arc of Triumph (copycats!). It had some cool carvings. you can see a corner of it in the picture above.
The Arc of triumph. Not much to say except the guy on the right looks like Ben Franklin.
Then we saw a Living Mozart Statue (a street performer).
Gimme five, Mozie!
And then we came back to the apartment and now i’m writing this post. Thank you, and good afternoon.
