Photos: Lisbon! Party 'til sunrise!
Since I had such a great time in Gibraltar, I decided to try couchsurfing again. I ended up staying with a nice Portuguese guy who had grown up his whole life in Lisbon. Since the city of Lisbon was destroyed in 1755 due to a combo earthquake, fire, and tsunami, it has much less to show for itself than other areas in Europe.

My couchsurfing buddy directed me well: the thing to see in Lisbon is the nightlife. It was amazing to me to see how the streets just filled with people. It seemed like nobody drank in the bars at all—they all preferred the streets!
On my way back from Lisbon I had to stop in Madrid for a day and a half. In that time I had the chance to see everything I had missed—the botanical gardens, the Parque del Retiro (Retiro Park), the museum Thyssen, and two exhibits in the cultural center CaixaForum: one for the earthquake in Haíti and one for the culture of Teotihuacan. Then... back to France to start my studies abroad and learn some French!
