Actually, I have to exclude me from that "we", because due to acute procrastiation, and wrong priorities on the weekend of my birthday, I had to make the decision to stay in Madrid and face my workload. But I'm lucky enough to have friends with a good eye, and even better: a good camera! So I can provide you with gorgeous images of the trip to one of the most B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L cities in Europe.
The Suffolk students took a tour to the smaller towns surouding the Portuguese capital: Cascais, Sintra, and Cabo da Roca (the most western point of the European continent - as close to the States as you can get by foot!)
In Lisbon itself they had dinner in a traditional Fado restaurant, hidden in the small streets of the famous Bairro Alto. They went to Belém to observe the beautiful sights and OF COURSE to eat many many delicious Pasteís. The last afternoon was used to take a tour around the castle São Jorge, located on a hill in the center of the city: perfect to have a panoramic view of the river Tejo with the Golden-Gate-Look-Alike Ponte 25 de Abril and the cute colorful Baixa (downtown).
Ok, enough vocabulary. Here are my three favourite from the eightysomething pictures my friend Antonio took:
Torre de Belém
Pedro and Max enjoying the beach in Cascais.
View on the old town from the Castelo de São Jorge.
...but you have to go see for youself!
