To the end of the world! Que rica es la vida de Portugal...

This weekend I went on a trip via bus to Lagos, Portugal and Sagres, Portugal. The trip to Lagos was about 6 or 7 hours long and worth every annoying person I had to listen to on the bus. When we arrived in Lagos we immediately wanted to get something to eat and check into the hostel. We stayed at the Youth Hostel of Lagos for 11 euros a night which included clean linens as well as a modest breakfast in the morning. Immediately i fell in love with the city as well as the culture in Lagos. The city is a smaller city with a large tourist attraction because of it's amazing location, diverse culture, shopping, fishing, and golfing! During the first few hours in Lagos we ate and walked around the cities edge, enjoying the amazing beaches and everlasting views from atop cliff's edges. During the night we went to a couple different bars within the city where I spoke with a couple locals, a lady from Serbia, Australians, and a bartender from the United States. The diversity of the European crowd never seizes to amaze me. The next morning we went to the bus station and took a bus to Sagres (an hour away) for 3'40 euros! Que borato! ... how cheap =P. Sagres which is known as being the "End of the world" for its location as the furthest city south west in Europe was one of the most amazing sites I've seen in my life. The ocean seemed infinite. We passed the time in Sagres walking along the beach and walking along the cliffs talking taking in the breathe taking view. We had lunch right off the ocean at a nice little cafe/bar built into the rocky and sandy shoreline. The view was nothing short of magnificient and was something I believe each person should entertain at some point during their live's. The people of Portugal were very simpathetic and educated. Most of the people I had met, spoke very well in english... something our country doesn't always consider. When I left Lagos for Sevilla I was a little sad to be leaving such an amazing country and I will definitely plan on returning algun dia (someday). Well its about time to eat, and I hope you're all enjoying the fall. Hasta luego...
