The San Francisco of Europe: Lisbon

So the title and picture of this blog sum up a lot of what I thought of Lisbon. It was a really cool place. Very charming and tons of beautiful views. It was very hilly and the streets were all cobblestone which made things pretty slippery sometimes. Sometimes it got a little difficult because I was travelling with 6 other girls (it was supposed to be 7 but Tamara got the flu the day before we left) and coming to agreement on plans was tricky. The weather was pretty bad Friday and Saturday but Sunday after the majority of the group left and just Jill and I had the day to explore, the weather was beautiful. It was a wonderful trip and a great way to finish up my travels outside of Spain. Next time I'll be on a plane will be for my trip home. But for now I've been to Ireland, England, Portugal, France, and the Netherlands, and if you count Spain that's 6 countries... not bad! I'm going to miss this whole jetting away to another country for the weekend thing. Only two and a half weeks left of class, 4 papers, 3 finals, and then I'm off to Pamplona!



Here are a few pics from Lisbon:
