Best Day So Far

So after a quality 8 hour sleep, I went to the amazing town of Sintra...It was a 25 minute train ride. There I went to the Pena Palace, so amazing wait until you see my pictures (on facebook later). Then I went into their huge park and saw the Temple of Columns, the Table of the Queen, the Stautue of the Warrior, and the crazy, and I mean crazy Fern Valley. I also climbed to the top of the hill (529 metres) to get an astonishing view of the palace..well worth the climb. The High Cross at the Cruz Alto was gone though...Tonight my hostel is having some sort of yummy chicken feast...They have some drinking or eating event every night. Tomorrow I go to The National, Gogol Bordello, The Hives, and Rage Against the Machine at the Optimus Alive festival in a town outside of Lisbon. The English Boys are going too...sadly, they are going to Bob Dylan the next night and dont realize how awful he is live and they made me promise not to give my actual opinion on it...Lisbon is hella cheaper than Dublin and needs another visit...Here till Saturday, then a night train to Madrid...Hope all is well with everyone
