Trip advisor says the best restaurant in Jacksonville is the French Pantry. People say the food is full of flavor. I would not go there because this is too far from Tampa. Here is the picture of crock madame. a french sandwich with an egg.

Lisbon/Portugal

I went to Lisbon in the summer. I saw hotels, buildings, trains, trams, double-decker buses and a Statue of Jesus Christ.




This hotel looks like a castle.

I went to stores with my Mom such as the mall and it looks a dream come true and it near the subway station where all subway trains are kept. I rode on the subway

 
 Trains travel underground and other trains travel on top. 
I saw many people sitting on the seats and holding on the poles to hold on tight so they felt safe. 

In London The double-decker buses are red and in Lisbon they are yellow.
I sat on the top of the double decker bus. I saw fire station with fire trucks.

I had a very good time when I was in Lisbon/Portugal!
