Let me explain...
1 - I´m about to see my first Letter available in GS. I've been working on that for the last month and I´m specially interested in this type of cache at this time.
2 - Following the steps of another Geocacher, "Jasafara", and because of his "Work" around statistics and the Old Way of Geocaching in Portugal, I've been digging up stories from great "ancient" caches mostly around the two Portuguese forums (Geopt.org and Geocaching-pt.net). So, as I´m more aware to both Forums now, today in "geocaching-pt.net" I've came across a question "Já encontraram alguma Letterbox oficial (AtlasQuest.com ou LetterBoxing.org)?", "Did you find already any official Letterbox (AtlasQuest.com ou LetterBoxing.org)?". As usual "Jasafara" run to investigate and return with the Good News! There´s one in Lisbon, the "Mr. Grinch Goes to Portugal"!
3 - With half an hour free before starting my shift at Lisbon Airport, reserved for a city cache, it became clear in my mind were I had to go and after identifying the location of Marriott Hotel jumped into my car.- After a short stroll I've spotted the weird tree and the cache. Very cool Stamp indeed!
Thanks for the Letterbox and hope you´ve liked our City!

Um carimbo bem engraçado... pena não ter comigo uma esponja de tinta para carimbar um bloco de notas que tinha comigo e a tinta do carimbo já estar seca. Voltarei lá quando passar perto (mais uma coisa para colocar na mala do carro, esponja de carimbo).![]()

Recebi a resposta,
Rui Duarte:
I am so excited that you found my box!!! I decided I would plant it during my visit to Lisbon, but since there were no other letterboxes in Lisbon, I figured it would be a very long time before anyone ever found it. Hopefully this will lead to many more people finding it too.
I was only in Lisbon for 6 days and I was very ill for the first 3 but I had a greta time walking around and sight-seeing. I definitely hope to make it back some day.
Thanks for contacting me.
Mr. Grinch
