4:00 pm – 'It’s World Cup Time! We head to a sports bar and snag a seat right in front of the screen. I order a sangria. The game is fantastic and even though M and I aren’t huge sports fans, we really admire the USWNT women and everything they stand for.'
We shared a one-bedroom Airbnb , that came to $277.98 per person for six nights.None. I’ve been traveling internationally about once a month for work so I have all the travel necessities.5:00 p.m. – Our flight is at 10:30 p.m. tonight and I really should leave the office to go home and pack, but Sweden is playing the Netherlands in the World Cup semi-finals and I am glued to the screening in our conference room. It’s such a close game! Eventually, the Netherlands wins and I head home.
6:30 p.m. – My travel companion, M, and her boyfriend, T, pick me up at my flat. We’re flying out of Dulles, and it’s a bit of a trek from the city center, but luckily T has a car and offered to drive us. I’m grateful I don’t have to take a $40 Uber or mess around with multiple trains and buses. On the way to the airport, M realizes she forgot to pack her birth control. T thinks on his feet and, while driving, and just calls in her prescription. Damn, it pays to date a doctor.
7:00 p.m. – We thank our host for his guidance, then change and decide to head to the first restaurant on our list: Cervejaria Ramiro. We start walking towards the restaurant and run into a cute market selling sangria, cured meats, and cheese. We make a mental note to stop by here again, and each get a glass of sangria for the road.7:30 p.m. – When we arrive at the restaurant, there’s a huge line.
1:30 p.m. – We head to the castle. Unfortunately, Google Maps tells us there’s no way to walk straight there, so we’ll have to head down then up again. Why, Lisbon?We make it to the castle and are pretty knackered. We get our tickets and brochures and sit in a shady area for a bit to read up on the history of São Jorge Castle. I manage to snag a 25 and under discounted ticket, but M is a few years older and has to pay full price, which is double.
7:00 p.m. – After a brief rest in the Airbnb, we change and walk to dinner. We go to Vestigis, a restaurant along the water. We order mussels, shrimp, fries, and a caprese salad to share. The waitress tells us about her favorite wine made in Lisbon, so we split a bottle of that as well.
