12/30 through 12/31 – Lisbon - Happy New Year!





We got into Lisbon around dinner time, went to pick up our keys at the hostel’s front desk, met Keri (a Georgia friend of Pete, Carline and Johns…she is such a sweetheart and so much fun…I was happy she was able to meet up with us) then headed to our first meal in Portugal –a Chinese Buffet. We had been traveling all day and all looked like it…everywhere we went seem to be a little too fancy for our appearance. (Speaking of food I forgot to post a picture of the brains that were displayed as a choice of meat in the restaurant where we ate in Casablanca – bon appétit!) The food at the Chinese Buffet was delicious and was a nice change from the couscous, bread and olives. The next day we had breakfast sitting outside on the sidewalk watching everyone walk by then split up; those who hadn’t been to Lisbon before went site seeing and Caroline and I went on a hunt for our New Years Eve outfits. Caroline found a bunch of cute and warm clothes and I found the leggings/pants that I’ll be wearing for all future New Year Eves until every last sequin falls off –yes sequins…they’re FABULOUS! We walked down to the main square had a nice New Years Eve dinner then walked through the streets of Barrio Alto with the rest of Lisbon –the streets were packed…It was a lot of fun. The next morning we woke up, had breakfast then headed to the train station to catch our train to Porto.
