Symbols and Traditions

Hi! My name is Sam, and I am 8 years old. I want to tell you about my awesome trip to Portugal! Portugal is a country in Europe where a very famous soccer player named Cristiano Ronaldo is from. I love soccer, so I was super excited to go there.

While we were in Portugal, we visited this cool place called the CR7 Museum in Madeira. It's a museum all about Cristiano Ronaldo's life and his amazing soccer career. There were lots of trophies, medals, and even some of his old soccer jerseys. I got to take a picture next to a big statue of Cristiano Ronaldo. It was so much fun!

We also went to the Estádio da Luz, which is a huge soccer stadium in Lisbon. Cristiano Ronaldo played there when he was younger. The stadium was enormous, and we got to see the field and the stands where thousands of fans sit and cheer during games. I even got a mini soccer ball as a souvenir!

Portugal was really amazing, and learning about Cristiano Ronaldo made it even better. I hope I can go back there someday and maybe even see a live soccer match!
