Where have I been the past two days?

Riding trains.














This is apparently a piece of art made by a Chinese artist entirely of life jackets dude found off Greece during the refugee crisis.

Lisbon

The flight to Lisbon was pretty smooth and easy. Once I got there late, I had one thing to do other than sleep at my hotel. I had to go to the time out market and get some baby pig. In Ohrid I met a Portuguese guy who suggested two places to me and I settled on the one that made baby pig sandwich. It was delicious. The meat was so soft and fluffy and the skin was nice and crispy. If you're ever in Lisbon, this is the place: https://www.timeoutmarket.com/en/eat-and-drink/henrique-sa-pessoa/ Thank you Filipe. It was awesome. Still no food pictures. I am not about that life.

More Planning!

Today was beautiful. Got to almost 70. So I did as any sane college student would do and I went to the Quad with my travel book and started planning!

Krakow photo dump

I lost internet connection partway through so the order is a bit messed up as it had to be uploaded in multiple batches.  Modern art. Literally a room with mirrors and pillars painted like this. Terrible.  Stones from Romeo and Juliet's graves in some famous person's collection. Also had a Shakespeare chair.  Same museum from above had sarcophagi, a Rembrandt, and some other cool things.  People selling their art on the street.  The Last Supper Entrance to the Salt Mines This was somewhere in the salt mines. Again at some point there were 25 chapels down there.  A really impressive chapel down there The altar with different lightings do you can see both the piece and the surrounding bit.  Pope John Paul II in Salt. They love him in Poland. A bit unhealthy if you ask me.  130 m down underground here.  Different puff colors wer...
