boat day:)

every day is another adventure! One big old...scary...exciting...confusing...ADVENTURE;)

i think each day that we get through without having anything stolen...I count as a success;)

And it's not that there are a shit ton of freaky people. BUT after being warned 100 plus times about being robbed, being aware...we're SO aware that the little old lady that comes awkwardly close to us on the bus...BACK OFFFFFFF!!!!;)

but for real. It's all good. 2 days in and it's all good:)

today we got up and enjoyed our complimentary breakfast and socialized with some of the others staying at Zuzabed:) Great way to start the day. Then we changed into our suits and headed towards the water. Before we got there...we wandered a bit and found some other pretty thing. Impossible not to:)

UP we ran smack into this arch that was hidden between 2 buildings. Gorgeous and nice that we weren't the only ones clicking away:)

DOWN this is the other side...

we do wish that we KNEW what these things were or signified?! Arg. Nothing really says...so we're not sure if it's just a beautiful thing...or if it really is SOMETHING. But we're happy to see it anyhow:)

UP/DOWN the middle of the square from a distance

PS. we were offered hash/weed and coke (not cola;) in that square. FOR REAL! Kept walking...quickly.

UP the boat we took across the river to Cacilhas. The area that we drove through to get to the beach had us wondering where the hellll Carlos was sending us. It was pretty sketchy. And smelled heavily of b.o. Yum. BUT the beach was amazing and totally worth checking out:)

UP/DOWN views from the boat (both photos courtesy of Jacob - he's been amazing about taking photos...even pulls the camera out of my hands to get some:).

today was an amazing day....as of right now - it's 8PM in Lisbon and 2PM in Wisconsin:), we're sitting in bed after taking a nap earlier and may now head out to get some ice cream and take a walk to some gardens that Carlos suggested:)

life is good:)
