John has been trying to get me to Oriente since I've arrived but we have just been too busy. He came with "the guys" after they sailed in. He wanted me to come mostly for the huge grocery store, as close as it comes to Walmart here. See, they even have hot dogs in a jar (no hot dogs in a package). We just love wandering around in the grocery stores...I know, we are odd that way. Then off to the rest of the mall(The Vasco De Gama Mall)...look how awesome it is!
This city hosted the World Expo 1998 so there is a lot of awesome architecture. We rode the gondolas and got a great view from above. Apparently, there was a marina planned for this side of the city but it kept silting in so they gave up. Then we walked around the park and watched the kids playing soccer. After that it was off to the Oceanarium...Europe's largest aquarium. Check out the SeaDragon (looks like a mix between a dragon and a Sea Horse). Last but not least it was back to the grocery store to pick up the needed items and hop onto the bus for the ride back to the marina. A very exhausting day!
