Great work from you. Beautiful Portugal. Interesting post.

Woah, I had no idea Lisbon has so much lush forest within the city! That's really great to hear.

It would be great to see more cities follow in Lisbon's footsteps.

That wild aloe is truly useful when exploring the jungle. First aid kit from the jungle.
