Last days in Europe

cheese We totally suck and fizzled out on our blog posts...2 weeks is a long time to be away from routines and familiar beds. Much of the past two days were spent wandering around Lisbon, staying out of the rain, and a furious Arrested Developement marathon to usher in the New Year. 

Happy New Year, y'all!!

Since our last post we've eaten so much meat and cheese, chased the elusive Fado musicians and walked what feels like a mountain every day (Jillian still wants to climb a real one). We've attempted to go to museums and castles but most have been closed for the holidays. Oh, and more shopping.

The climate is very similar to the SF Bay Area. Cold, foggy, rainy, with splotches of sunlight so you can catch glimpses of how dirty everything is. But beautiful in a winding cobble stoned way. 




It's so easy to get lost and frustrated if you're caught in one of the micro-showers that have peppered our days here. 




They even have a Golden Gate Bridge (you can just make it out in this picture).






And with that, a hushed whisper, our trip is at its end. We're packing our bags for the last time and are beginning our 30 hour travel home (fly to Heathrow where we spend the night and to Atlanta in the morning). 

We'll be sure to post our favorite and weird things we noticed about Portugal soon, thanks for following!
