Ola! This is Tristen and Jackiee coming from Cascais,
Portugal. This morning we had an early morning in Madrid. We took the metro to the
El Rastro flea market. We walked around and people bought scarves, jewelry,
bags, and clothing. We were there for a couple of hours and the atmosphere and
experience was great. Then as we got back a couple of people headed to the
store futbol mania to buy last minute souvenirs. Then we all headed on the long
bus ride to Lisbon. The bus had to stop every few hours because of European
laws that they are only allowed to drive for a certain amount of hours at a
time. We stopped at something similar to a truck stop, but it was an actual
restaurant. We then got back on the bus and headed to Portugal and checked into
our hotel, which is really nice! For dinner we all went out to a buffet near
the hotel. The food was delicious and authentic. The best part of the dinner
was when our tour guide Pedro brought his kids and wife to meet all of us. We
are back at the hotel now in the playroom playing cards like little kids all
having a good time and bonding. We’re looking forward to a beach day tomorrow
before our game. Hasta Luego!
