The LONG way down!!! We have officially arrived back in Spain after spending about a week in Portugal (too short if you ask me though). So what has happened the past week? Too much to write about, but Ill give it my best college try!! After arriving in Lisbon early Tuesday morning, we spent the first two nights at the Travellers House hostel which I previously wrote about. We then moved down the street to the Old Town Hostel, run by a nice older gentleman (u...

Sooooooo, it has been a short while since our last blog up in sunny England of all places, if you can believe that.
