" You could probably find a myriad of reasons to spend your entire visit to the Portuguese capital wandering the streets. The beautiful, colorful architecture, the old-timey cobbles, the hidden-gem stores. Or perhaps, the street art. Coming as I do from a city where 85% of "street art" is actually just 14-year-olds spray-painting dopey nicknames on the wall, finding a place like Lisbon is like stepping into another world."
" Upon entering the little war room house they had this map up on the wall of all the battles fought in the Boer War. Ironic that there were 123 battles fought in those four years, that's roughly 30 battles a year which means two battles a month. Can you imagine having to fight a battle every other week for four years in a row!
" The tree growth here is somewhat new and mostly a mix of aspen trees, pines and cedars. You can see that forestry is practiced in the region and there are also frequent fires. Alberta doesn't get too much rain so the trees aren't as large as something you would find on the other side of the Rockies"
