Our First Night at the Chillout Hostel in Lisbon!

We got into Lisbon at around 9:00am yesterday morning and spent the entire day wandering the clean, cobblestone streets! The city is absolutely gorgeous! We grabbed our first beer and lunch at a little cafe called BS, brenna spotted it and said we had to go there because its her initials (Brenna Sandstrom). Then we were able to check into our hostel, The Chillout Hostel, the girls Alan, and Erik took the private room and we shoved Nick and Johnny into an 8 bedroom mixed dorm, unfortunately for them its all stinky boys!

Then we set out on the streets again, this time walking all the way down to the water and over to this GIGANTIC castle, the Castelo de St. Jorge. It was big and old, but the views overlooked pretty much all of Lisbon! 

Walking around in the sun all day and the 8 hours of time difference made us all pretty tired. One of the guys, Sean, cooked us a delicious bbq of chicken breast, onions, bell peppers, mushrooms, broccoli, and potatoes (yuck), Brenna and I split a bottle of wine and then hit the sheets. I think all of us slept better than babies, except we all woke up pretty early, stupid biological clocks! 

We all just got done eating breakfast, instant coffee (GROSS), toast and chocolate cereal and now we are headed to the BEACH!!!

Love you and miss you all
