Primero, HUNGER GAMES!!!! So several weeks ago, my friend Allie who studies here was talking about how the Hunger Games movie was being released in Portugal before it is in Spain (it STILL hasn't come out here, feel sorry for us) and that there are theaters that had it in English with Portugese subtitles, so of course we went the first chance we got!! Friday night we piled 30ish Americans in a Portugese movie theater along with the approximately 7 Portugese people who were in there and we saw the movie, FINALLY!! I don't want to say it was the highlight of Portugal....but it was pretty darn great.
The REAL best part of the trip was our trip to Sintra that we took during our free time on Saturday afternoon. We took the train to the town Sintra which is a small town full of palaces and Castles. We hiked up a huge hill to a Moorish Castle and saw so many great views along the way. It was a little cold and rainy, but we had a splendid time. I was a little reminiscent of Ireland because everything in Sintra was rolling green hills. There were several moments where I just breathed in the air and pretended to be in Ireland-- I miss it so much! But Portugal was pretty great, and cheap!! We had several 1 euro pastries (something Portugal is well-known for) before we headed back to home sweet Sevilla (:
Fun Fact! I can't actually find my camera at the moment, sooo here is a google image picture from the Moorish Castle we were at overlooking the town. Not very legitimate, but still a pretty beautiful sight (:
Tomorrow marks one month left until the last day of classes here in Spain. I'm sure I say this every time, but I seriously can't believe how fast time is going by here!! I'm not ready for it to end yet!! Hasta Luego (:
