Lisbon

Our flight took off from SFO at 8:30pm and we landed in Lisbon, 11 hours later at 3:30 pm, (8-Hour time difference ). A flight and hotel all in one, without the bed!

We took a taxi to our hotel, and were just in time for happy hour and  Portuguese steak sandwiches by the sea. 

It was fun to check out the old barrios and markets. The intricate work on buildings and statues are just not things we commonly see in the states- beautiful! We picked up some traditional Portuguese egg tarts, Pastel de Nata, for dessert, from a market stand. Still warm, they were delicious! 

Starting to get tired, we headed to our hotel at about 8:30 pm. We were so excited to be in Portugal, and so were the revelers who celebrated and whooped it up in the streets until about 3:00 am! We actually did get some sleep and are excited to begin our cycling tour tomorrow!Read more
