30. For Real Though, This Place is Amazing!

I love it here. I just love it!

I'm going to be honest, I'm tired right now, so this is going to be a shortly-written post. I just took 20 minutes to upload the abundance of photos you're going to see, so I'll let them do most of the talking tonight. 

There's very little chance that I can top them anyway.

This is the view from a place just up the street from where I'm staying.


Then I headed to the Castle!


The view is unbelievable. You'll see far too many of them here.

Look far in the back, right in the middle, and then the next three pictures.




They may not be crisp, but this camera's got ZOOM!





Love this roof.





A little opening, and the following is the full view.







 Another little opening, followed by the full shot.



And then I saw a peacock! 


And then I took these three shots that I am obsessed with!



It's blinking in this one, you can see its eyelid closed!


Then I took the tram to the post office to figure out how to use it come Monday when I want to send some stuff back home. The trams are adorable from the outside, and crammed from the inside. 

It's a must-do though, because it's just so... authentic.



I got the boxes and information I needed from the post office, and then took the tram half way back to where I was staying. I decided I wanted to see the Lisbon pantheon, but came across this cool market that had this in the entryway.

So simple, so beautiful.


And then the pantheon. It's massive. I have no idea, as I didn't in every other country, how the hell these things are constructed!






You can walk all the way to the top, so of course I did!

And look! Wowzers, you guys! You could walk around the whole thing, and get a 360° view of the whole city.









This afternoon, I became obsessed with the sky. It was brilliant today.




I didn't go in here, but I just really liked the look of the outside in general.




Then as I walked to find some dinner, I saw this store, which was a shared art store, where they had a collection of work from different Portuguese artists. I bought two necklaces, one for me, and one for a friend back home.


They left the floor exactly like the outside. Like, no floors were put in the store, it's just the street. It's very cool.




I finally went and had a "sausage on fire" at a restaurant near by, and it's exactly what it sounds like. There's a place in Toronto that I'd tried the same thing (there is likely more than one!), and I plan on going back very soon after my return.

Alright folks, I'm toast, so off to sleep I go!

Nighty night!
