Buenas noches! This will be a quick post because I'm tired from lots of traveling, looking forward to lots more traveling, and have class early tomorrow morning. This afternoon I got back from the most amazing whirlwind trip to Lisbon, Portugal. It was my first time couchsurfing (although I have hosted surfers here in Córdoba) and I honestly cannot imagine a better introductory surf. We stayed with three Portuguese guys: Rodrigo, Arlindo, and Joao who are all still within their first 3 months working as doctors in Lisbon. Despite this, they had an incredible amount of free time to show us around the city (including nightlife), give recommendations, and sit down for long talks about Portuguese/Spanish/American culture and vocabulary (learned some key words in Portuguese, especially ordering a drink which translated to "a kick in the vagina"). Besides the general awesomeness of our hosts and lisbon in general, highlights of the trip included getting burned at the beach, finding my name on a poster (first living proof I've found that it actually DOES mean butterfly!), drinking ginjinha; a sort of cherry liqour (and even buying a bottle to bring back), and the most extensive junk market I have ever seen which sold everything from dirty old bottles to phone chargers.
Once again, pictures speak better to experiences like these so take a gander:
