The Perfect Season to Visit the Christ Statue

   Our Weekends are generally filled with some kind of training we are giving to stake or ward leaders or attending My Path devotionals or Self Reliance 'group' meetings.  We had devotionals to attend on Sunday evening but Saturday was a 'free day" so we took advantage of it.  There is a Christ Statue here smaller but similar to the one in Rio Brazil.  It is called the 'Cristo Rei',  We see it everytime we cross over the bridge that connects us to Matetajo (sp?) where we go to do PEF work.  It is a beautiful site with His arms outstretched and looking over the city of Lisbon.  Saturday we went to explore it.   We took the elevator to the top and snapped some pictures, it was an overcast day but still a breath taking view.
Behind us is the bridge we drive over several times a week







This is picture of the HUGE and ancient aqua-duct that we drive under to get to the bridge to pass by the Christ Statue.  It is really an impressive sight made of stone!




 We had a hard time catching the sun, but this is Lisbon from the top!

This bridge is patterned after the San Francisco Bridge...it's beautiful.
