Lisbon, Portugal: Block Party/Free Day
After pretty much falling asleep this morning around 7am, I got a good 5 hrs of sleep and woke up around noon. I felt like I felt the loss of an hour as time went forward here last night. Myself and a few others from the tour and dinner last…

Lisbon, Portugal: Black History Untold
Since I’ve been in Portugal my sleep schedule has been crazy. For example I found out tonight at dinner that time goes ahead here tonight so instead of being 4 hours ahead of the east coast we will now be 5 hours ahead. It is currently 3:15am as I began…
