LISBOA!

So we just got to Lisbon a few short hours ago, but it has been amazing so far! The city is absolutely beautiful, as is the weather. Melissa and I are pretty exhausted from a long day of class and traveling, so we are calling it a night pretty early for the Portuguese. This evening, we walked around the city to see just a few of the sights, including the fun and hip neighborhood of Bairro Alto. One sin so far: we went to the Hard Rock Cafe for dinner. We did feel a little guilty for being so American, but it was GREAT to have a real American cheeseburger and French fries! Plus, we did watch the entire Spain-Chile futbol game while we ate. Our hostel is great and friendly, and we will be getting up pretty early tomorrow morning to have breakfast (for free at the hostel) and to see as many sights as possible! So excited, and I will check in soon!
