the update

so... from lagos, i took a bus up to lisbon where i stayed for a few days. lisbon is a pretty funny city. everything is on a slant. you cant find a right angle in the entire town. really steep hills and narrow streets. impossible to go exactly where you want. start walking down a street in the direction you want to go, only to be led through twists and turns, eventually pointing in the exact opposite direction before the street dead ends. disorienting, but not really in a frustrating way. from lisbon i caught a flight to berlin, where i am now. culture shock in a way... here, even the average sidewalk is much wider than the larger streets in lisbon. everything is super spread out and very flat. almost impossible to walk anywhere (i'm gonna see if i can find me a bike to rent). not sure where i'm off to next, but i was thinking copenhagen...
