Still vacationing for the next 2 days after a great weekend in Lisbon, Portugal! THe city is located on the water...very beautiful with lots of sites--cathedrals, castles, watch towers...the city is built on 7 peaks and so there is many different levels and look out points. it sort of reminded me of san francisco because of the steep slopes and there was a bridge that easily could have been the golden gate bridge, except for the huge Christ statue on the other side. Shaz says they have built the same statue in Brazil as well. it also rained the whole weekend,adding to the SF feel.
We just spent the weekend touristing around, walking up and down and eating portuguese pastries--they are very famous there. the language is bizarre, looks like Spanish but sounds more like dutch or something.
today it is also raining in Madrid, so im just passing the time getting reorganized for my last couple of weeks of classes before christmas! the job is going well, and i am so happy to be doing this, to be making this possible.
a friend of a friend of mine was visiting last weekend and was so impressed with our lifestyle and the opportunities we have...working little, but making enough to travel a little and enjoy a new city and culture. i also enjoy teaching and my spanish students so much more than i could have imagined and im happy knowing that this is exactly what i want to be doing.
all for now...enjoy the pics!
