My Scavenger Hunt Around Lisbon

     On my second day in Lisbon, I had a field program that was a scavenger hunt around the city. I did not know much about it, but it sounded like a lot of fun when I signed up for it. The tour guides led the group to the Palace Arc in the middle of the city. Here, they gave us our instructions.       
We were divided into three teams. My team consisted of Sarah, Mary, Oliver, and Jasper. Each team was given an instruction booklet and an envelope. The envelope contained tram tickets that we would use to get to our first destination. The envelope also contained Euros so that we could purchase certain things for tasks. The instruction booklet told us certain locations that we had to go to,  questions pertaining to the certain locations, history on certain areas, tasks that we had to complete, and a word search.

We had to ask locals for some guidance because the questions were worded poorly (as you will see). My team ran around the city and came in first place. These are the questions we  that we had to answer in our booklet:

 

         1. The Augusta Street’s Arch was built to commemorate a special occasion. What was the occasion?
