Ladies in Lisbon

Olá! Como você está? {Portuguese for Hello! How are you?}

Why Portuguese? Well, because I’ve travelled to the wonderful country of Portugal. Lisbon to be exact … hence the blog post title. 

 

Legends say that Lisbon was built on seven hills – which is why the city is known as the “City of The Seven Hills.” I can honestly be witness to the hills because EVERY WHERE I walked, I had to put an extra pep in my step. {Whew} A piece of work indeed.

My weekend get-a-way consisted of seven ladies {in the seven hill city – giggles}, who travelled from five different countries {Italy, Germany, England, and Spain} enjoying the company of each other, eating phenomenal food and drinking Portuguese wine. Yep – that pretty much sums it up.

The ladies and I rented out a traditional flat which was perfect. It hosted three bedrooms, to baths, a spacious kitchen and dining area, along with a patio. Take a look at our views of the city.

Now, when people ask me what I did in Lisbon, only one thing comes out of my mouth … “I ATE!” I mean, sure we hopped on a “hop on – hop off” tour {and stayed on – giggles}, we shopped around slightly, and had a fun night on the town, but the food was so amazing we ate most of the time. Coming from Spain {no shade thrown} the food was extremely flavorful. And for all of those who know me … the key to MY heart is my stomach.

The food was so simple but again so flavorful. It was “Um, Um, Good!”

What more could you ask for? The ladies and I kept each other entertained. I seriously laughed so hard that weekend – {Giggles} And I would travel anywhere with these ladies, again.
