Two girls standing on the roadside, trying to get lucky a ride. Funny thing, you know watching drivers reactions on our hitchhiking gestures, made us laugh a lot. three guys on colorful vespas stopped by trying to pick us up, but with my luggage we just couldn't afford that. And then was a guy on shiny car, very intelligent and polite, who actually gave us a ride to the entrance door of our Lisbon appartment.
It didn't feel like capital at all, and i fell in love with that place from the very first day. As we were waiting for two more friends to come in a few days, many interesting stuff has happened to us. Natalie got her job at small restaurant, i met all the neighbors, she shared apartment with. Everyone is bright, extraordinary, awesome in it's own personal way. Artistic and elegant italian girl Stella, her surfer boyfriend Tit, working as photographer, cooking and psychology genius Jaime, messy and funny Dj Telmo. We got into new funny story with Le every single day. Once we went to historical spot at night to see it not overcrowded with tourists as it was during the day, and on our way back we lost our way. So we asked a driver at the gas station to call a taxi and he appeared to be one. So he was driving sooo damn fast, rolling a joint, sharing with us, giving his number and willing to become our personal driver all at once. There were absinthe shots, stalkers, mango breakfasts and hostel cooking, which was a good inspiration btw. Just in a few days we were rushing to the airport with two carton signs which said - Roma and Tania.
