Day 1 and 2 – Paris and Lisbon

We made it! No problems whatsoever except not being able to sleep on the flight over. And the fact that each seat has its own personal tv unit and I ended up playing computer chess instead of reading.

We got into Paris and had a five hour layover so we jumped a train to Notre Dame and walked around for a few hours. Then we got back to the airport and slept most of the flight to Lisbon. We strolled around for a few hours, got some food, in us and crashed. Lisbon is a very pretty city. It reminds me of a medieval San Francisco as its very hilly and right on the water. Today we´re exploring the city on foot.

Not much to report, but two things quickly became clear upon arrival:
1. I love Europe.
2. I love Iberia.

That’s it for now. More to report once we actually do something. Feel free to post comments.

    Congrats on your safe arrival! Any soccer matches in your near future? Did you vote on UHR before you left?

    Can’t wait to read all about your adventures. Just knowing you’re in Europe is making me want to go back – like right now! Can you believe we were in Austria at exactly this time last year? It seems forever ago! Anyway, have a great time! We’re thinking about you.

    Porto? I hope there’s some Porto from you in our future. Have a great trip! :)

    bom dia!

    We’re leaving for Porto in an hour. Lisbon was great. More later.

    No soccer as the season just ended, and yes I voted for the UHR before I left, no you can’t know what my vote was for.

    Piss off Swenson.

    It seems like mom and dad went to Europe ten years ago. Can’t believe it was only one…

    There may indeed be porto in your future. It’s cheap here.

    Check back here soon. More to come. Love all, Trent
