I made it to Lisbon in one piece! I'm sad that this is my last city, but it's been a great trip and I'm actually about ready to come home. I know, I thought I'd never see the day! I am happy that I only have to pack once more, though...I am tired of living out of a suitcase.
Lisbon is an amazing city...imagine if Paris and San Francisco had a bastard child with a weird accent, and there you have it. It's got some fantastic neighborhoods, trolley cars, a bridge that looks suspiciously like the Golden Gate...and so far, cold, shitty weather. But it's Europe in early March, so I knew what I was getting into. Today I just walked around the city, went to the castle, the cathedral and the main museum, i.e. the standard European city day. Tomorrow I'm going to Sintra, which was the "royal getaway" town, I guess kind of like Versailles, except not. Then Saturday probably just bum around town, and Sunday I come home!
I'm about out things to say...it's hard work being a man about town and I'm pooped. I'll write once more before I leave, if I can!
Oh, before I go, I'll leave you with this thought: the Portuguese are all about some bendy straws. That is all.
