It is hard to believe, but our four-week sojourn across Europe has come to an end. In about four hours, Chris and I will check out of the hostel (4 a.m. Lisbon time, 11 p.m. Indiana time) to head to the airport to catch our fist of three flights back to Fort Wayne. We will arrive at 9:30 p.m. Indiana time (2:30 a.m.) Lisbon time ... almost a 24-hour travel day.
It is a bittersweet day -- we have had an incredible trip across Europe and have enjoyed every day, but I am also looking forward to seeing family and friends, and I'm excited to get back to work ... and squeeze in a Cedar Point trip, as well as some skydiving!
We spent our last day hanging out in Lisbon. We made a day trip to a suburb of Lisbon called Belem. It was a 30-minute bus ride from central Lisbon to Belem. We walked around the neighborhood for a few hours, had lunch, did some souvenir shopping, climbed almost 300 stairs to get an overview of the area, and had some pastries at one of the most famous bakeries in Lisbon. Here are a few pictures from our day trip.

We returned to the hostel around 4:30 p.m. and began packing ... a task that took about an hour. Here are the pre and post packing pictures:
When I finished...
We went out to dinner around 8 p.m. and enjoyed one last meal in Europe at a place called Chapitô. Once again, we were treated to some delicious European cuisine.
Well, I need to be up in about four hours to catch a taxi to the airport. Tonight's blog is a little short, but I will post one more tomorrow after we get home with some interesting numbers and facts from our trip. Stay tuned for one more update tomorrow night from Bluffton.
Thanks so much for reading this blog these past four weeks! I have really appreciated all of your messages, comments and support.
¡Chau!
Justin
