Old Fort

 

Friday July 16. Well today we started out taking the elders to the airport for their flight to Lisbon. It was the first time for me to  drive a car since our arrival. Seemed okay. We have wanted to visit the old military fort almost since our arrival and since it doesn’t open until 10 am this seemed like the perfect time. We walked down paid our 1 euro each and looked it over for about 2 hours.it was pretty cool, lot’s of guns





Some nice vistas 





Grandma and flowers, grandma sitting keeping watch


More guns and vehicles







There was an area with old stone anchors


Grandma thought this uniform for women was cool. 

While walking I noticed an add for surfing lessons.

More grandma with flowers.
Before I forget a ship went past our kitchen window this morning while we waited for the missionaries.
Love all of you.

If we ever get to visit I would love to go to the military museum. Pretty cool stuff!

The army trucks with the guns are super cool, the camo tank is cool, did they paint it because it looks newer than the other stuff? I love the pictures of you and grandma sitting on the ledge and then in the cool roof building that you're standing in. I love the suit that grandma liked for women, I think it's cool that they have that there, again love the pictures of grandma with flowers. Were those shotguns, rifles, or machineguns? Love you guys, Love Ashley!
