I really enjoy playing Dutch Blitz. So for this week’s student blogging challenge, I researched Dutch Blitz at http://www.dutchblitz.com
Dutch Blitz was invented by Werner Ernst George Muller, to teach his kids numbers and colors. Now it is played by families all over the world.
Dutch Blitz is a fast-paced game, that will get your competitive side to come out.
To experience the Dutch Blitz feeling, you should bye a pack of your own. Have fun, but remember, it is extremely addictive.

In Portugal, there is a really famous fish. It is the codfish. Portuguese people eat codfish in many different ways, and they eat almost every part. Some of the most famous dishes are codfish with cream or codfish with potatoes. Instead of potatoes, it is common to use little potato chip shavings. Portuguese people eat this meal for special occasions like Christmas and Easter. They buy dried codfish in the store, and then prepare it by soaking it in water for a very long time. So if you ever find yourself in Portugal, try codfish.

I live in Portugal. Portugal is an amazing place filled with many hills and valleys. It is a very old country, which means that it has very old buildings. Let us explore a few of them.

Torre de Belem- Translated, this means Tower of Bethlehem. King Manuel I, of Portugal, had Francisco Arruda start construction on the tower in 1514. When built, this tower was completely surrounded by water. Now sand has built up, and the tower rests on the beach.

Built in 1493 by King John II, the Palacio de Pena (or Pena Palace) is an amazing sight. This vibrant palace was also a monastery. This palace was built on the top of a hill, making itch nearly impossible to attack. This palace is surrounded by over 200 hectares of gardens.

Obidos is a town surrounded by walls. Inside it are held many festivals including a chocolate and a medieval festival. This town is full of shops. You can purchase many tourist trinkets. If you are courageous enough, then you can walk around the walls that have no guard rails!
