Vasco Da Gama Mall. Water runs over the glass top to look like an underwater mall. Done in theme with the worlds fair several years ago. Even the walk ways were built to look like waves.


The long road up to the Portugal's President's palace.


Guards keeping people out of the palace grounds.


Lifelike image of Saint Jeronimo in a glass enclosed "tomb."


Artwork lining Saint Jeronimo's Monastery Chapel.


Bill standing outside the huge gates to the monastery.


Tower of Belem where cannons protected the harbor to Lisbon.


Original lighthouse keeping ships from running around.


Monument in honor of Portuguese explorers who literally explored around the world. Notice the size of this monument.


Whoops. This should be above. This is the entire length of the Jeronimo Monastery.


Our bathroom here at the training center. The shower is 23" square.


Drive through to McDonalds.


Yours truly at the beach.


How would you like to make miniature boats all day long for a living?


The tourist shop where we bought all our gifts for our financial supporters.


This is a two way street, believe it or not.


Yours truly again.


Another Catholic church.


Cemetery right in town. This is the small city surrounded by walls that you saw in our Mission's blog.


Same city. Imagine being a serf protected by a "knight" or prince.


More pictures next Friday, the day before we leave for home.
