Today we went to Lisbon, and we took the train, and somebody i guess jumped in front of the train, and died, and we saw the body. Gross. So in Rossio, we walked around and took a trolly up a big hill, and we went to Igesja de Sao Roque (Church of Saint Rock) and the church was magnificent...900 yrs old. wow....completely covered in gold. I was looking in the different chapels, and they had dead people buried in the walls, (enclosed tombs of course) and then in one chapel, they had replicas of portuguese saints and martyrs, and they had the bones of them, and in the middle of that chapel was a glass case with bones from one saint...i saw his skull! man that was cool. so we were going to this thing in the church and my aunt told me that ppl were buried in the floor. And point out on the tiles where there were words or numbers, someone was there, anywhere from 900 to 200 yrs old. so i stepped around them, i wudnt want someone just walking over my grave not noticing...so i apologized if i stepped on them, and ppl were looking at me. lol. So that was super cool. Churchs here are like.....900 yrs old. theyre sooooo beautiful and huge, and just not like the ones back home.

its like 2 am here
