Portugal - Dia Cinco, Edição Dois

Lunch at Prazers da Picanho after sleeping 'til almost noon. Four steaks + bowls of beans, rice and fries + two glasses of wine = one long ass nap.

Waited in Rossio forever for the right tram.... Castelo Sao Jorge was closed as a result. INCREDIBLE dinner at Senhora de Mãe. Bottles and bottles of red wine, beef tenderloin with amazing sauce and done just right. Dessert was tangerine sorbet in sparkling rosé wine.

Went out after with Lindsay's boyfriend Chris in Bairro Alto. Met an American in a shit bar. Eva was born in Ghana, grew up on Long Island, went to high school in Idaho, goes to the University of Chicago, is studying abroad in Paris, and visiting Lisbon. Switch Ghana with the Philippines, subtract Idaho and Long Island, and you've got her friend Enzo. Great conversation about race.

Caught a taxi home alone. The driver was sweet. He'd lived in Lisbon his whole life - 51 years. I got home to Rich's and took a mad crap, but couldn't figure out how to make the toilet flush. Stupid big flush/little flush. GOOD NIGHT.
