Fun Fun Thursday

Alrighty, lisbon post number two coming at ya. THURSDAY:

So after a night of relaxing in the hotel room, we decided to wait for kate and elise (the two girls who hadnt arrived from valladolid yet) to do anything. They didnt get there till 12 which was fine because it felt good to take long showers and eat normal american type breakfasts with huge amounts of tea at the hotel haha. We had looked up the tourist info for lisbon and decided that today would be the day we went to see barrio alto (which is the main shopping/partying center of lisboa) and maybe get some lunch there then head to the aquarium area and actually go into the aquarium and then be over there for dinner and possibly go out there that night.

So thats exactly what we did, train to barrio alto FAIL. we didnt get lost it was just once we got of the train we realized the hype about barrio alto is um that its all bars. LITERALLY ALL BARS. nothing was going on it was like a ghost town. so we were hungie americanas at like 1, and naturally we could see the river so we walked toward it in search of food. i would like to take credit for finding the cutest sushi place ever! i cant wait to upload pics for everyone. oh check my facebook ally masterson (my vegan friend) and keely kemp (my ginger friend) have uploaded some already! So anywho despues de lunch we did the aquarium. call me a nerd but i like to go thro the whole thing and read everything. so i felt a little rushed, but it was worth the money only like 11 euros.

after lunch we decided to get food. the mall we went to the night before was right next to the aquarium so the vegan ally and our picky group member brooke and i went there for supper. everyone else hit up a nice irish bar on the strip next to the water. it was so fun after we ate we just went and sat with them. its hilarious you walk into a place at 6 and they say are you here for drinks or a late lunch....but whatever.

alrighty now the fun begins. we realized we were losers for thinking that you go out after supper. so we went back to the hotel to nap and shower before we went out. at 12 we walked to kate and elise´s hotel (haha they were in the other holiday inn hehe) picked them up then subwayed to our little aquarium area. NO BUENO. there was no one there! and the only people that were there were 17 or so. so needless to say we stuck it out for like an hr (got a bar owner to give us free drinks for being the only people in his bar) then hopped in some cabs. You must remember beside me ally and lakshmi all the girls are soroity girls (minus keely but she partys purty hard) so this next part im ashamed of. They decided to jump in random cabs and say take us to the party. which the cabs willingly did. safely. haha

so now we are in some other area of town. no idea where but it was by the water and there was sail boats it was nice. the bars were packed and it was great everyone was dancing and you didnt even have to drink because it was like being at a middle school dance. so fun! we stayed out late lets just say that. its nice that the girls have experience getting crazy because we dont have to babysit. i appreciate it. haha anywho that was my thursday
