We took at six p.m. flight to Lisbon and barely anyone on the plane seemed to be American. I hardly slept when we arrived at 6:15 a.m. and started off our day by lugging our heavy suitcases over hilly cobbelstone streets to reach our couchsurfing destination at Ana's apartment. Our first meeting with our hosts was a sweaty one, portraying America in its rightful light. After catching our breath, we cleaned ourselves up and headed out to explore the city.
After visiting Macau last spring when I was in Hong Kong, I was familiar with the look of the place. Everything is very narrow - the streets, the doorways, the sidewalks. My dad's Ford Expedition would definitely have some problems. I didn't even think my suitcase was going to fit through the apartment door.
We saw a few castles, walked through the sickeningly cute streets of Lisbon, managed to get lost on the bus system, but had an amazing first day.
great to hear that you arrived safe and sound, the pictures look beautiful. have fun at your first farm!
