We're in lovely Lisboa, but we can't seem to stray far from CNN at the moment. How is this happening? Four DAYS and Bush still hasn't accepted offers of international aid? Nobody can get it together to airdrop some water and, oh, say, a few crackers onto New Orleans?
It's Horrible. Shameful. So, so wrong.
Our hotel staff know we're Americans and they haven't given us so much as a funny look as we stay holed up in our room, glued to the news. Housekeeping didn't even bother to knock today.
We've seen very little of the city so far, and even though we have tons to share about Barcelona, Granada, and Madrid, it's not on our minds at the moment. We still have time to see more of Portugal before we leave. And I know we will. Just not today.
