Lisbon, Portugal 8/5/19
WOW this view is AWESOME!!!!!!!! IT looks like a gigantic dome!!!!!!!!! It is soooooooo COOL!! I love it!! It is called the Panteao Nacional. It is a 17th century monument in the Alfama neighborhood where I am staying in an apartment. It is the coolest dome I have ever seen!!! It took 30 years to build!!!!!
Today I went on a very long walk to a place called Time Out Market. It was worth that long walk. It is a huge food court. I had very good octopus. For desert, I had ice cream.
Hi Anna,
I’m so glad you’re enjoying Lisbon. Thank you for writing about the Panteao Nacional. It’s a beautiful building. Was the octopus you ate fished near you? It looked yummy. Keep having a great time and blogging. I love you,
Anni
Hi Anni, I don’t know where the octopus was fished but theres a lot in the area so I know it was close. Love, Anna
Hi Anna,
I am so glad your mom is taking pictures of where you are staying and the food you are eating. What did the octopus taste like? I have never tried it. It looked delicious. I can’t wait to hear more about your stay. Sweet dreams and blessings to you and your family.
Love you,
Auntie Patti
