Picking up where we left off…
On Wednesday in Spain our SaWUSA WLAX squad had their first practice, shaking off the rust from the long travel in preparation for the weekend at the Lisboa Lacrosse Tournament.
In the evening they took part in a really cool experience. They zip-lined from Spain to Portugal crossing a river on the way. Check out the video below…
Thursday the group checked out of their resort in Spain and boarded the bus and drove up to Lisbon. Upon arrival they enjoyed some time on the beach, had a training session, and then enjoyed some nightlife in Lisbon!
Friday (today), the group is out an about enjoying a guided city tour (see info below). Tomorrow, the Lacrosse Games begin. Stay tuned!
Lisbon City Tour
This full-day tour allows you to discover Lisbon, capital of Portugal, colonized by many civilizations along the centuries: Phoenicians, Greeks, Carthaginians, Romans, Moors and finally the Portuguese after 1147. We will visit from outside the door of St. George Castle, including its surrounding quarter and Alfama, Lisbon’s oldest quarter. This city is linked with the heroic deeds of the Portuguese maritime exploration, in the 15th and 16th centuries. This was the Age of Discoveries and the Golden Era of Portugal, transforming Lisbon into the opulent centre of a vast empire. Part of the wealth from these expeditions was used to build magnificent monuments in a unique Portuguese style: the extravagant Manueline architectural style, best typified in Jerónimos Monastery, and Belem Tower. Some of these monuments can still be seen, especially in the area of Belém. But Lisbon has more than just monuments! We will visit also the traditional commerce zones of the city, with their 18th century buildings: the Downtown and the Chiado. In short, our tour includes all the best that Lisbon has to show!
