Today we woke up late yet again and headed out with our Australian friends where we got some pizza which was fantastic. We then made attempt number two to make it out to the Aquarium, or oceanarium as they call it. This time we took the subway which was wicked fast and a far better choice than the bus. The area surrounding the aquarium was awesome(see image) and the aquarium was awesome. The Aquarium is the 2nd biggest in Europe and had a bunch of cool fish and sea creatures on display. The middle of the whole place had a enormous main aquarium that had everything from manta rays to maco sharks. Lauren Day was captivated by the sea otter which did nothing more than look incredibly adorable as it tried to take a nap.
We then went to dinner with a couple of friends from the hostel. We went to what may be the only asian buffet in Portugal. They had dishes from Japan, Korea, China, India and Thailand and it was delicious. We then tried to explain what State Fair food was to our foreign friends which was absolutely hilarious. Foreigners already think Americans are glutunous pigs, but when you attempt to describe what an elephant ear, corn dog or deep fried twinkie is, you really feel like a fat ass. Think about it.
Now we are currently sitting in a train to Madrid where I will drop off my stuff for when I take up residence there and then we are off to Barcelona!
