Places in a city

Hi Nina, it's Ece. Day one in California! I'm at Hearst Castle. There's a museum inside, but I'm skipping it. Too many swords.

Next, the church with the big clock, then a coffee in the square. After that, the tower. Yes, I'm climbing a tower. My legs say no, but my phone says: great picture. Bye!

Tom, which way is downtown? Is it over the bridge? The river is so wide here!

Wait, the old town is on this side. And there's a viewpoint on the hill. Let's go there first. It's only a ten-minute walk, but it's all uphill. Bring water. And maybe a helicopter.

Are you a tourist, too? Me too! I'm on a bus tour, but I got off at the wrong stop. Hello from the shopping street!

My friend says this street is worth a visit. I think she means the candy store. Wanna come? They give out free chocolate. Yes? Awesome, follow me!

This is the famous statue. It's a man on a horse. Who is he? I don't know. Nobody knows! Everybody just takes a picture.

Let's look around. Oh, there's a fountain! Don't touch the water. Wait, a kid is in the fountain. A dog is in the fountain. And now my brother is in the fountain.

My uncle loves history. He says, "Don't miss the ancient bridge." But there are forty bridges in this town!

Dad, which one? The one in the middle of the old square? That one is only two hundred years old. Not ancient! Uncle Joe is ancient. Don't tell him.

Hi Mom, it's Kerem. Lisbon is amazing! This morning we saw the palace and then the cathedral. Both are huge, and both have long lines.

Now we're at the harbor. The boats are small and the ocean is blue. After lunch we walk up the hill. Dad says, "It's just a little hill." Dad is wrong. Dad is always wrong about hills.

Hi Sam, it's Ali. Rain today! New plan. Morning: the art gallery, because it's dry. Lunch: street food at the market. It's cheap, and there's a roof.

Evening: the theater. Then we take the ferry back across the river. In the dark. In the rain. I say it's romantic. You say it's wet. Bring your rain boots!
