still alive

After tonight's Portugal vs. USA game, I was worried I might not make it out alive...but luckily it was a draw so I am still alive! Not super happy, but alive nonetheless :) But more on that later! Today was a busy busy and (like every day!) full of excitement.

Moral of the story: We tried to find the Museu do Azulejos, which is a famous tile museum. It took us waaaay longer than it should have. We found the water museum, so we thought we'd try that instead...

But it was closed. Darn. After much walking and complaining, though...we found it!

And after the tile museum we of course realized where we were and got home super fast. Then we watched the Belgium-Russia game with some of the girls staying with us at our hostel (because they're Belgian and apparently this is like the first time in 12 years that Belgium's qualified for the World Cup so this game was a big deal to them. Good thing they beat Russia 1-0!).

Then we went back home and rested up for the big game tonight.

crazy steep hill we have to climb like 2x a day if we want to go anywhere

pastel de nata-Portugal's famous dessert. SO GOOD

And now I'm blogging, writing some missionaries, and am off to bed because it's way late!!! Boa noite!!
