We´re just rounding off our last couple hours in Lisbon and I´m sad to go. It´s such a wonderful city, but it is so big and so chaulk full of monuments, delicious pastries, and kind people. I can´t belive we´re not spending more time here.
We stayed at the ´Black and White´ hostel which was amazing, partly because of the staff, partly because it was decorated really awesomely, and partly..just because we liked it a lot. We spent a lot of time chillin´here, Liz is sick and needs her rest along with a forced cup of tea (she hates tea but I swore it would make her feel better). We made friends with one of the staff members. Unfortunately we didn´t catch his name, but we had fun talking about random stuff because he wasn´t busy, being low season and all.
We walked for about 2 hours to the famous discovery monument, stopping along the way to look at other fantastic pieces of history. I didn´t know Lisbon had so many statues and monuments. On the way to the discovery monument we saw the massice bridge that looks like the golden gate bridge with a massive statue of Jesus at the other end of the bridge..it´s quite hard to describe. It was really cool. After going to the discovery monument in Belem (the district of Lisbon it´s in) we got some pastries, because Belem is famous for those. They were delicious.
Other than hanging around our hostel and walking for hours we didn´t do much. It was great to just relax after our hectic travel schedule through Italy and Spain. Now we move onto Paris yet again only this time all we´re doing is going to Disneyland! Yay! I´ve never been and Liz swears it´s magical, so exciting. Then it´s across the water to Ireland where we start our U.K. leg of our journey. Excellent.
Until next time,
Justine.

It seems like the Jesus bridge would make for a good photo. Have you encountered any bed bugs/ bed gypsies?
You will have memories for life. You sure are blessed. Love you
