Ginjinha!!!

Tonight is our last night here in Lisbon, it's almost sad to leave so quickly because we have gotten to know our way around here pretty dang good!

Yesterday we went to this beautiful little beach town called Cascais (google it!!) and sat in the sun and played in the sand. We made some new friends last night at the hostel bbq, four girls from Switzerland, Sev, Celina, Paulina, and another who's name I cant remember. The four of them, the seven of us, and about five other people from the hostel went on a pub crawl led by Sean and Bridgett, two people that work here at the hostel. Its unbelievable how cheap drinks, shots, and beer is around here, 1 Euro each!!!

One of their local drinks here is called Ginjinha (pronounced Gin-ginger) its a baby plum liquor. The shot is served to you in a dark chocolate shot glass...take then shot then eat the chocolate. It was absolutely delicious, but probably the cause of some minor headaches this morning.

The bars around here don't really open until like 1 or 2 in the morning so we didn't get home until around 4:30am! Needless to say we let ourselves sleep in tell about 11:30 today.

Today we went to another beach called Costa de Caparica, it's a quite a big bigger than the one we went to yesterday and had some pretty big waves and lots of surfers. We are all napping at the hostel right now and are going to join in another bbq tonight with the hostel, this time an authentic portuguese dinner apparently...they have been cooking for the past two hours and it smells DELICIOUS!!!

Tomorrow nights we leave for barcelona on an overnight train, Portugal has been amazing but we are excited to move on!
