Lisbon has 2 Estadios. Benfica (red) and Sporting Lissabon (green). I Think the last is the Best. Benfica is near a shoppingmall. The biggest in Europe.

Whoo hoo we were finally starting the road trip portion of our trip!! We had to stop a couple times on the way cause I was feeling a bit under the weather but for …

What a wonderful and hectic last day I had! After a morning of work, a picnic by the river and a bus ride into Porto, we were greeted by a really crappy hotel.
