Hi, Im in Lisboa right now. Havent had the time to update. Also, the internet cafes isnt cheap here. We have been blessed with great weather: blues skies and sun. Lisboa is not a very exciting city for a capital. Outside the main squares, the city seems devoid of people. So, while you think that Lisboa has a small population, you walk into a shopping plaza, and it is packed. I think Portuguese love their shopping - judging from the size of the malls. They open till 11pm!! unbelievable. Its great, because where we are staying, we live around the corner from El Corte Ingles, this huge shopping plaza. While, Portugal seems on a whole milder (cusine as well) than Spain, it is beautiful. We walked along the coast today and the seas were the same blue as the sky.
Tomorrow we will be taking an 8 hour bus ride (!) to Sevilla; my parents are becoming quite the intrepid travellers. haha. But its all cool. From Sevilla onwards, we will be renting a car and exploring Andalucia that way.
Alright, Im off now. Shall update from Spain again.
