Things i love most about Lisbon:

1.  It's cheap!! you can easily get a full meal for 3 euros...which is good because i am on a tight budget
2.  There are ice cream and pastry shops everywhere! i don't normally eat lots of pastry...but i love looking at all the different types they have.  however, i am definitely an ice cream addict! for some reason, every time i come to europe i feel the need to have ice cream/gelato/helado or whatever every single day!

Anyway, you don't really hear about people traveling to Lisbon too often, but i actually think it's actually quite a nice place to visit.  Just like any other european city, it has a lot of interesting history, awesome architecture, great museums, distinct neighborhoods, people who like to stay out til 7 am, etc.  I am not sure about the portuguese food though...they are supposed to have lots of good seafood, but i was too consumed with ice cream that i didn't get a chance to try a lot of the local food. 

I can't upload pictures here, so i will have to do that another time....

Post your own travel photos for friends and family Pictures
