I went to Lisbon, Portugal a few weeks ago for my 23rd birthday with a dear friend from undergrad at Wash U! We were in the same sorority while at Wash U and are now both getting our Master’s in Europe (she’s in London). A few days before we left, the weather called for rain the entire weekend!!! Isn’t Lisbon supposed to be warm and dry?

Regardless, even with the poor weather forecast, we managed to only get caught in one downpour! The weather was beautiful and sunny about 70% of the time and the rain storms (when they happened) only lasted a few minutes. Lisbon was absolutely gorgeous and I can’t wait to go back to explore more of Portugal!

Hello from Lisbon, Portugal! What a wonderful, sunny weekend escape from Germany :)

First picture I took after landing in Lisbon! Hello rainbow :)

I had such a wonderful time with Alyssa! Thanks for a wonderful weekend :)

I’m kind of obsessed with all the architecture and bright colors in Lisbon. I mean, even the fire hydrants look pretty!

The pretty side streets of Lisbon. I just can’t get over how gorgeous they are!

I can’t wait to keep sharing more posts of Lisbon, the amazing food I ate, and the fun day trip I took to Sintra, Portugal.
