Lisboa =)

A couple weekends ago, I went on a school trip to Lisbon, Portugal. The school trips are always so fun! It was about an eight hour bus ride from Madrid to Lisbon, but I spent most of it catching up on sleep, so it did not seem very long. It is great to go to places with the school because they plan activities, meals, and expeditions for the group. The meals with the school were exquisite; they are usually 3 course meals catered to everyones´needs. During one meal, there were even Portuguese singers singing while we ate our delicious food!

We went to all the famous sites, the tower, the castle, the ocean. It was all so beautiful! Unfortunately, it rained all day Saturday, so it was difficult to see the castle with all the fog! It was very cold and rainy. However, we managed to get some laughs out of the whole experience, and then went shopping to make us feel a little better. :) The clothes, food, taxis, etc...are all much cheaper in Lisbon than in Spain, so that was a nice surprise. Overall, even with the unfortunate weather, my friends and I managed to have a great time exploring the streets of Lisboa!! I would love to go back to Portugal during the summer to enjoy the gorgeous beaches.
