Lisbon... were we really even here?

Well, Lisbon, we really didn't get up to a whole lot here. The first day we weren't able to get into the city until 21:00 because we missed the bus in Lagos, which really slowed down our day. The first night we wandered around the city to find a place to eat and settled on a fantastic little chinese food place just down the street from our hostel. After that we wandered some more to find the city alive with several cultural festivals. The first one was a fish fry and dqncers/singers. The second one a few blocks away, filled the city square and featured 'the houses of Lisbon'. There were many stalls set up and each house featured their specialties from wine, to cheese, sausage, and many other things. After watching a few shows it was off to bed!

Random Street

The second day was simply spent wandering around the city, seeing the sites, and trying to get our bearings. We didn't manage to see anything but the outside of the buildings' and seemed to spend most of the day searching for a cheap place to eat and for a bathroom. At night there were not a lot of things open or much going on in the city, so we relaxed at the hostel, watched a movie with some new friends and were off to sleep!

Tires from the eFOG

eFOG suspicious activity!

The next day as we were leaving, just down the street from our hostel we stumbled upon an eFOG cell!! We noticed that they were stock piling tires on the top floor of this building for future attacks against the FOG. The incident was handled with extreme caution and the threat was neutralized!

Off on the train to Porto to see and do hopefully a lot more than we did in Lisbon!
