TuTubain from Lisboa

Small cup of extremely good coffee, bbq chicken better than nandos, cobble stone streets, nice plazas, lots of water views, beautiful is Lisbon. After leaving Morocco i wanted to go back to civilization. After three days in Lisbon i would say it is the closest to Vancouver by far. No mountains but lots of water, friendly people and lots of character. Lisbon in 1998 was awarded the expo and since then it has turned everything into gold. My cousin was there from Canada visiting his gf so all of us went and did the tourist thing. We went up a elevator to see teh view of the water. The weather was nice in the daytime although it was chilly at night. Just like Vancouver. I was staying in Estoril which was right near the water. On Sunday there were all the families and jogger on the seawall. Also Estoril has the biggest casino in europe. No money for me to spend there but still nice. Spent most of my time in lisbon, eating food at the cafes or else checking out the water where the expo used to be. Amazing building, great views and great food. Three days went fast. Also the Ismaili centre there was incredible. If you have a chance to see it go. Its gorgeous. I would say the best khane i have ever seen. As for now i have made my way to Madrid. The weather is now cold so back to Vancouver weather. I will probably head back to London for some time before heading to the US. Until then arigaro and ciao.
