Sunburns: Ow.

I haven't had a sunburn in so long that I'm pretty sure I forgot just how incredibly annoying and painful they are. I'm usually really good about wearing sunscreen, and when I went to the beach at Cascais yesterday with some of the people I've met in the hostel, I remembered to wear sunscreen. Except I forgot to put it on one particular place, and now that place really really hurts every time I move and I'm just like - wtf, self. WTF. I will not be forgetting again.

In any case - Lisbon is completely awesome, with some really cool people both Portuguese and otherwise, and I've had a ridiculously good time so far. So much, in fact, that I've decided to stay a few extra days, because there's still more in and around the city I haven't had a chance to see yet. I was going to go somewhere else for a few days before my flight leaves on Monday, but I just - it's awesome here, and I'm not ready to go! The city itself is really lovely, and the people are friendly but not pushy, and the people in the hostel are really enthusiastic about sharing what they know about the city with us. It's really just a lovely place, and I'm so glad I came here!

Berlin on Monday. It's gonna be weird going back somewhere I don't speak the language. But I haven't been to Germany since I was 12, so I'm interested to see how my opinion of the place changes now I'm older.
