Welp, it’s been an exciting morning and evening here in ol’ Europa. The store selling 4€ tutus that I was so excited about was closed for permanent Sunday siesta (reason #89 to always buy on impulse the first time) and the 2-hour-delayed airplane we flew in from Seville to Lisbon was basically the equivalent of a dented can of soup. Lucky for us, 1/4 of the 8 people the dented can of soup fit were awful demon-spawn children, an occurrence which is coincidentally also apparently my lot in life whilst riding in airplanes.
We landed in Lisbon where everything was closed, and checked into our first and only hostel of the trip, where a weird drunk guy promptly appeared behind us when we were checking in and ordered “14 beers.” Literally, that is what he asked from out of the minibar. 14 beers. And the most amusing (is that the right word?) part is that there is a 15-20% chance that he could be one of our other two roommates. Stay tuned.
We actually did get drinks at a very nice wine bar called Bebeduoro which we highly recommend and everything will be fine tomorrow especially if “14 Beers” guy doesn’t show up in our dorm.Also Rebecca is still sick from what shall heretofore be referred to as The Granada Hex, so everyone please send her good vibes slash do some goodwill spells on their voodoo dolls for her. We need her to be well enough to ride bikes tomorrow as it’s a long an exciting trip to the WORLD-RENOWNED AQUARIUM! Sea Otter and Sunfish and Manta Ray photos for DAYZZZZ!!
(Today’s photo is from when we were still really excited and in Seville this morning at our neighborhood church and eating eggs and jamon)
