I´m Going To Portugal!!!

Thats it, the plans are set! We´re going to Portugal!!!

So, the plan!?
Tomorrow, at 8am, I leave Granada and drive 7 hours to Lisboa!!
I spend two nights at the Lisboa Central Hostel, walking around and exploring the capital.
Sunday Morning, wake up early and drive 3 hours to Lagos!!!
All of Sunday will be spent chilling on the beaches of Southern Portugal, and then we will spend the night at the Rising Cock Hostal (sorry guys, that is what it is called)...
On Monday morning, we´ll wake up and drive 5 hours back to Granada...And then probably collapse from so much ADVENTURE!!!

I am really unbelievably excited and I have absolutely NO IDEA what to expect. I am nervous to drive, but I will take on the task at hand and DOMINATE THE ROADS....yeah!

Well, outside of that, Spain.....

I have just been living life. I went out for drinks with a few of my friends, and we got some olives and pickles for tapas, a cheap tapa but .. I didn´t hate the olives. Apparently, I am growing as a person. Wow.

Here, there is a drink called tinto de verano, a half glass of red wine and the other half, lemonade. The Spanish version of an Arnold Palmer. Its delicious, but definitely a kiddie drink. Really, its wine for babies!! Yummy!!

Its still warm. Classes are going strong. I am doing alright. I miss you all!!

Hey Zayatz

I don't believe you are going to read this blog any time soon, but whenever you get to it, I just wanted to say "hi" and let you know that I'm here thinking of you.
Hope you have good time in Portugal. Gena is right you should have no problem speaking English there: Portuguese know it very well because they did have strong connections with Brits - as a matter of fact their culture is so different from Spanish because of these connections (just like Canada and their mixed heritage with French influences - a little too serious trying to figure out their identity :)).
Have to do my work now :(.
Enjoy without feeling pressured and keep writing about everything: good and bad, big and small etc.
LOVE YOU!!!!!

Have fun drive safely. Lot of staff to see in Lisbo. Petia told you already about church with a tomb of Vasco DeGamo. Statue of Henry the Navigator and the Age of the Explorers is very cool. You probably going to drive through the longest bridge in a world while entering Lisbon (17 km long, slightly more than 10 miles long). Try to go to Sintra (Summer residence of Portugal royalty) and Cascais. Try to visit Cabo de Roca - the most western point in Europe. You can get a certificate for visiting the place (Very cool). All places are less than 10 miles from Lisbon and could be easily reached by the car. Have fun.

P.S. Liza could you check my blog while being in Portugal so I can get a count from new country. :)
