Lisbon, Portugal Part II

And to conclude this journey, we have more photos.



Outside of Monastery of Jerónimos



Monument to the Discoveries



Belém Tower



Pasteis de Belém - fantastic postre from Belém - they try to duplicate them, but only one place in the world has the recipe. They sell 35,000 a day.



Lisbon's most famous square. We stayed less than 5 minutes away from here.



Again at Monastery of Jerónimos, a storm was brewing.



Inside the Monastery



Also in the Monastery



haha also the Monastery



We also went to the aquarium here in Lisbon. We went under the impression that it was the second largest aquarium in the world - false. It was still pretty cool. They had a Pacific Sun Fish though - couldn't get a good picture of it. Anyways, Lisbon was awesome. I really enjoyed my stay there. I'm now in Tarifa (near Gibraltar) with my friend David Balmer. We're going to Morocco tomorrow! I'll post again soon.

Lisbon, Portugal Part I

So I went to Lisbon. It is the most beautiful city I've ever seen (so far). It's packed and gorgeous and over 3000 years old. I had a blast.
Stayed at Yes! Hostel - I highly recommend it. We went on a couple of cool walking tours / pub crawls and it was very cool. So I took some pictures. I didn't feel like putting them all up at once because it takes a while. They're all kind of mixed about.

So here's part I:






That dog was mean.



Fado is a type of Portuguese music. What I gathered is that it's like jazz or emo music where they try and make you cry. Atleast that's what the tour guide said.






Little section of the city that was destroyed by the earthquake in the 1700's.



Public restroom - no plumbing, just a wall. It's a classier way to use the bathroom on the side of a building - it even has a sign.






Cat.



Thought this was cool. The vandal of this particular property was throwing down life lessons.
