And then I went to Lisbon

Abi went to Lisbon in February. Abi loved Lisbon. Abi told me to go to Lisbon. I hopped on a 9 1/2 bus filled with exuberant snorers on Wednesday night and followed that with another 9 1/2 hours back three days later (complete with an even more exuberant snorer). Totally worth it.


Pretty Lisbon!

Police on Segways!


So this is in my hostel with a Lithuanian guy whose name I never quite understood and the hostel worker, Benedita, whose from Angola and is generally awesome. You can't really tell, but Lithuanian guy is picking up both Benedita and myself--it was impressive, and probably wine-induced.
