seville to lisbon, portugal

8:08am portugal time
I’m in this Lisbon hotel where we r staying for 2 nights. The drive towards Lisbon has been both spectacular at first then disappointing. From this super super long bridge where we passed into Lisbon we saw from the bus the entire waterfront of the city. Like rio de Janeiro in brazil, we saw in the very distant distance the huge statue of jesus lit up spectacularly. Arms outstretched in protection of the city. It was designed to b the first thing u set ur eyes upon b4 u enter the city. That’s b4 they built this supermodern and long bridge recently, the one which we’re traveling on now. Its called the vasco da gama bridge, after the famous Portuguese explorer. The statue was erected I thanksgiving for sparing Portugal from taking part in the horrors of wwii. It wd have been a magnificent sight…maybe we’ll see it close up today when we do our city tour. If not today, then perhaps tmw. We spend 2 days here.
Portugal time is 1 hr behind spain time. Just as a footnote.
And today is a long awaited moment. Finally, we get to go the ever famed holy city of Fatima. Anticipation is up and excitement is high. Can’t wait to get there la.
