Lisbon Day 2

So yesterday I woke up at a reasonable time, 8ish I think. I had a nice long breakfast, which is amazing here, they cook eggs to order and deliver it to the table and wash your dishes afterwards...which at €20 a night hostel is pretty darn nice. After breakfast I started walking, just kind of headed in one direction and decided to walk until I no longer saw anything interesting. I ended up on this hill that had an amazing view of Lisbon and it was quite a nice walk. After the walk I headed back to the hostel...that doesn~t sound like a did much but it was a 3 hour walk or so. I headed back to the area where my hostel is and walked around there and grabbed a sandwhich for lunch. It sounds like i~ve taken Lisbon pretty easy, which I guess I have...i have catching up on sleep to do still and I wasn~t feeling quite so well, but I plan on hitting the ground running when I get to London. Fortunately I won~t have any time changes to deal with. Coming from Greece to Lisbon was a bigger adjustment then i thought it would be, coupled with my lack of sleep to begin with. But I had a great time in Lisbon. I was packing up because I leave this afternoon and i noticed some rocks on my white pants. I actually thought they were pretty cool though...they were from a volcano and how many people can find volcanic rock in their shoes and luggage...

I miss everyone, I^m so looking forward to London actually but I kind of can~t help but wish these next three days to fly by because I\ll get to see my dad after london...it was the same with Palermo during my second break, it was hard for Palermo to live up to how amazing the rest of the trip was and i knew as soon as palermo was over I would get to see my family. I^m sure London will be better than palermo though, mostly because there will actually be things I want to go see...
