Okay, well there is no one waiting for the internet so this entry will be a little longer maybe. Katie has correctly informed me that Oasis is the best youth hostel of all time, and I have enjoyed the rooftop swimming pool, chocolate spread for breakfast, clean beds, and a tapas tour with a free flamenco show last night. I highly recommend it. They even made a reservation for me at the Lisbon Oasis by means of IM. You know you are in a youth hostel when reservations are made by college students using IM. When the guy told me it was all set and I said, "score", he was extremely amused...and promptly typed that to the person he was IMing. I laughed. I have no idea where he was from.
Oh yeah. Sevilla. I love Sevilla. The tapas are incredible. The weather was great, if a bit hot, and the city is like one postcard after another. I touristed all day and saw all the major landmarks, most importantly the Alcaza and the Cathedral. I took a bunch of pictures of the place in the Cathedral that Christopher Colombus is supposedly buried. I did a little shopping and bought one clean sundress so that I don't have to wear dirty travelling clothes to see my friends in London. They have all been in civilization for a while now so I don't want to embarass myself too much. I figure clean clothes will do. I doubt the cleanliness will get much beyond that, as I have an overnight bus both tonight and tomorrow. So much for sleeping and showering. Sorry guys.
I am getting quite excited to get home, to the point that I don't even care that much about Portugal. I have to spend the day somehow, though, so I may as well make use of it and do some sightseeing. Then I hop a bus to Madrid tomorrow night at nine, I get into Madrid on Sunday morning, and I am going to chill out at the airport all day. I considered taking a day trip on Sunday to El Escorial or to Toledo, but I don't have a lot of money and I don't want to risk missing my flight. Besides, hanging out at airports and bus stations for hours on end is ridiculous amounts of fun.
