Go Canada Go!!

156

We managed to find a bar in Lisbon where we could watch the gold medal hockey game!  We found it via good old trusty tripadvisor.com thinking we’d be the only two people watching it.  But it turned out there were other fellow Canadian travelers in Lisbon too!  We had some boys from Toronto, Ottawa, Montreal and Kamloops there.  There were two Americans as well, and they were gracious enough to take our victory pics when all was said and done.  Thanks to Hennessy’s Irish Pub, we had the upstairs section blocked off for us, while the rest of the bar was all cheering for a local soccer game at the same time that evening.  It did get a bit confusing when everyone else was cheering while the commercial was on.  But it all worked out quite well.  After the game, the Toronto boys started singing O Canada, and was later echoed by the live band with bryan adams and celine dion songs.  Needless to say we left after that and headed up to Bairro Alto to grab another drink before calling it a night.  Go Canada Go!

    Lucky you guys got to watch the game…it was intense and pretty amazing. Downtown was a gong show afterwards….the streets were packed and you pretty much couldnt walk without getting pushed and shoved by some super ecstatic canadians yelling "Go Canada Go". We miss you guys…see you soon!
