Lisbon, Portugal.

Taking a break from the London posts (so.many.photos.to.choose.from), today’s the day to show you a bit of my hometown.

I may be biased but Lisbon is awesome. I frequently like to take the time to actually look at it (kind of like a tourist, really) and absorb all the awesomeness. That’s exactly what I did yesterday. I had a free day so I made plans with my friend Filipa so we could spend the day together.

We went to the flea market in the morning. I always like going there. I don’t think I’ve ever actually bought anything (maybe I did and don’t remember) but it’s fun to go there and see the things that are for sale. Plus, it’s great for people watching. I did see a film camera that I’ve been wanting to buy for a while but it was waaaay too expensive. I think I’ll buy it online!

After the flea market Filipa and I went to a little café called Vertigo to have lunch. We both had bagels+salad and it was the perfect lunch after all that walking.

There was time for the gym because we, girls, like to be healthy (even if we did eat frozen yogurt immediately after the gym haha). And boy, I suffered. I hadn’t been to the gym and worked out for real for a while because I was sick. Well, I’m not sick anymore so I wanted to have a proper workout. I pushed myself really hard… and today I’m paying for it. It hurts to move!

It was a great, fun, tiring day. And it ended perfectly because after all that I went to my sister’s house to celebrate my niece’s 7th birthday. And to meet the new member of our family… a puppy! I’m gonna have to show her off soon. I believe I’m in love.

Anyway, here are the photos we took during the day!
