Not sure exactly what this was. It says vasko da gamma on it so it could be anything

It says Vasco, similar to Bosco from Seinfeld 😉

I started walking the bus line but there wasn’t a red line bus from my company. I decided to look for a bathroom because those drinks are starting to catch up with me.

 

I didn’t learn any Portuguese. And i really could’ve used it today. I ended up at a racquet club. The girl there sent me to a place back in the direction I came from. 
 

Come to find out that place was fenced off and closed.

 

 

fortunately it was the worlds largest book fair today. Apparently paper books are a big thing in Portugal still. 
 

 

One of the book dealers sent me here. All of the doors are locked.

 

 

 

I walk to another book dealer. She says it opens in 10 mins.  I ask if there’s another that might be open now. She points me further down the path.

 

 

This one was open and full of options. Can you pick out the two sinks?

Making my way back.

 

looks like a nice tennis facility

Oh the first bus I came to just said “to ship” so I guess they have one here that just runs to and from the ship. That dirtier directed me to a red line bus further down the bus line.

Vasko Da Gamma bridge. The longest bridge in Europe 

 

 

Looks like the bridge over Lake Pontchartrain - longest bridge in Louisiana, lol

Pretty sure those are the planes they had at the Gibraltar airport.

 

[Saint Greg]

plenty of room on this bus. It was impossible to get on red line at the port.

All over Los Angeles where I live.  Don't park your car or anything under them. Pretty but messy!

Ticket booth
 

 

I know what that means 

 

 

looks like a music festival is getting setup here. I see two stages

 

 

must be the local beer.

wouldn’t mind trying one.

 

 

 

Doesn’t look like they’re setup yet.

 

 

[Saint Greg]

This is a fortress that is over 800 years old.

I verified the ticket booth was legit and went back to get mine.
