2nd Day in Lisbon

Lisbon, 17-Apr-06, originally uploaded by Dave Appleton.

These aren´t really our photos by the way - I´m stealing them from Flickr.com. We´ve seen all the stuff in the pictures though. We´ll load the real ones later.

Andrea and Justin were acting like a couple of turbos today, and woke up with a 5 mile run around Lisbon. Justin was so dehydrated from the night before that he had to down four bottles of water when they got back.

Our day started off great when we realized we were each going to have to pay an extra 49 Euros for the night train ride (that´s like $60 - ouch!). We thought we paid for everything when we paid for our $670 Eurail pass - guess not...Anyway, my mood took a turn for the better when I discovered how good Espresso is here. I ended up having 3.

We spent the rest of the day seeing the sites that included the Bellem Monastary and Tower. Justing proclaimed that he "really liked the ecosystem around here". We also saw the national park (where we were treated to lots of excessive public displays of affection - some key phrases to describe the situation would be "sweat stain" and "dry humping") in front of the president´s house. We ate some wonderful pastries from a bakery that has been in business for 150 years - we figured they were probably doing something right.

I was offered pot 27 times today. The policia must be getting paid off around here.
