Portugal Travel Day 1-2

95 people landed in Lisbon today as part of Galveston’s attempted takeover of the country of Portugal.  We have a few things to learn first. #1: In order for the lights to work in your hotel room the room key must be placed in the door socket. #2: You only get 80 euros for every $100, so that $8 McDonald’s Happy Meal in the airport really cost $10, and #3: There are two places to sit in the bathroom which for us is one too many.
We were well fed tonight with soup, chicken, and pasta. They fed us so many times on the flights over even the teenage boys stopped eating. So we are tired but not hungry. There is a large casino near our hotel and a beautiful beach the students visited just blocks away from our hotel in Estoril. Tomorrow will be a full day of exploring Sinatra, Cascais, and Lisbon. A small our tour guide says in her Galician Spanish, “Hasta la vista, baby!”
