Lisbon, Portugal | Historical Tour Documentary | American Explorer: Abroad
First off, thanks for watching. Second, I apologize for my poor pronunciation. I tried to look up linguistics for some words but I’m sure my midwestern US accent came through on some.
Also this is not nearly an extensive history of portugal. It’s abridged heavily and my resources ranged from wikipedia to a tour guide and just anecdotes from people I met in Portugal. I welcome all corrections and discussions regarding the history of Lisbon and Portugal as a whole. Definitely not meant to be a source of truth for facts. This video is meant to pique interests and start conversations, not end them. Some sources cited below.
Special thanks to the Kirkland clan and the people of Portugal for being such awesome hosts.

Chapel On The Rock | Colorado's St. Catherine of Siena Chapel

High in the rocky mountains, nestle below Mount Meeker lays the Chapel on the Rock. A truly beautiful sight to see.

His lack of funds delayed construction for nearly 2...

    Lisboa is a beautiful city, with rich history. A side note - during the 1755 Earthquake much of the City which was Riverside was of course devastated - along with this, was the destruction of building which were holding a significant amount of the Portuguese Historical Maps etc. Which may well have been the greatest treasure that Portugal had garnered. The information contained was in the hands of the Portuguese Only. It was confirmation of the discoveries in the East, some of which is not credited to this very day. I’m glad you did highlight the Tower of Belem and the Monument to Infante Dom Henrique and the Discobradors, perhaps the Geronimo’s Monastery could have been shown.

    Just a note, the second is the only flatiron that I'd ever recommend non-climbers free solo. It's a class 4 scramble more than a climb and almost every CU student has managed it drunk at some point. Downclimbing is where people usually get hurt on it but, once you hit the top, look north and youll find a small drop that you can hop off right back onto the trail

    Trails in Roxborough include a meandering route to the the top of Carpenter Peak. A knob of rock 1000' above the parking area provides a wonderful view of the foothills, Front Range, Denver, the Great Plains, and the ruddy rock formations of Roxborough. If you're lucky, butterflies sometimes seem to be swept to the tip of the peak.
