We got up and had a traditional portugeas/ European breakfast of bread and cheese. We were so lucky to have Catarina and her family take us in. They had all different types of bread from around Portugal and multiple varieties of cheese for us to try. We then walked around almada (the town Catarina lives in) and we had the most beautiful view of Lisbon from across the river. After we took a ferry to Lisbon and she walked us all around the city. We saw baixa, alfa...

We were at the airport at 710 to pick kaylena and met caterina, kaylena's old roommate who we would be staying with for our time in Lisbon. After picking her up at the airport we went back to Caterina's place to pick up her brother and her friend, who was from chilli to go to the beach. It was supposed to be not a very nice day but her friend really wanted to go to the beach and she said she bring the sun so on we went. We went to a local beach about 15/20 minu...

That morning we go up had our typical cornflakes and toast breakfast and started on our journey across town.

However at around the 45 minute mark it began to pour so we went inside to mcdonalds and read our books for 20 minutes. Once the rai...

It was a real struggle getting up this morning. We probably wernt the best roommates moving about at 4 am but our lift was there by 430 and we headed to the airport. All if us slept the whole flight and the shuttle ride getting us to our hostel, the generator. We couldn't check in until 2 so we dropped off our belongings and went to get breakfast/ lunch at this really great falafel place. After that we returned back to the hostel and marissa did laundry while kar...

We took it easy today sleeping in and then actually buying our lunch! We went to the park and ate our pasties (potato, onion, and cheese in a pastry). It was really cool because at the park you could see everyone, mothers and their chidden, teens just hanging out, and so many business men ad women just taking a break in the nice green space. It was a huge park. After walking around we decided to walk to the Guinness storehouse for a tour. Since we had splurged to...
