I just got back from the Continente which is Europe's largest mall and which also happens to be about a football field from where I'm staying. We didn't do a whole lot of shopping, mainly buying necessities like bread and water. The place was huge! The grocery store part was bigger than a whole Wal-Mart itself! As I said, we didn't explore the entire place, just the grocery section.
One thing that strikes me strangely about Portugal is that everyone looks so depressed! Droopy faces, need-to-be-shaven beards, and big noses make me realize how blessed we are in America. I'll try to get a picture of an example of this to show y'all. Now for some sleep. The jet lag is killing me...
These salted cod in the Continente certainly were not on my shopping list!
Yea!!! for making it to Portugal. I checked on your flight status last night, and it looked like it was a tight layover in Philly. I hope that you all have the most wonderful trip and experience all good things that Portugal has to offer!
