Oceanario de Lisboa

We went to the aquarium this last friday and it was amazing! I've always throught aquariums were kinda cool but I have a new love for them now, I don't know if it's because I'm older or if this one is just really rad. It's so relaxing just sitting, staring at a hugeee tank full of crazy, exotic fish! It gets you thinking. Gonna get alll hippie right now but... There is seriously so much out there we don't know about! Under the sea is the biggest mystery of them all, we know more about space than the deep sea. How amazing would it be to go in one of those submarines so deep and witness those crazy fish that look like christmas lights?! You've seen them on the discovery channel! How do they even live?!! This is soooooo intriguing to me. And, fish are always in their own packs, their own species. How weird. And penguins only have one mate?! And then I got to thinking about all the amazing places I want to travel in this world. Lisbon, check. But remote parts of Asia and Africa, to see the true wilderness.. Iceland, New Zealand, Dubai, so many places to see in this crazy world. How CRAZY would it be to see blue whale. I can't even imagine.

So yes, my friday was pretty introspective... A lot of thinking, planning, saving to do. Thankful I'm only 20, and have visited many places already thanks to my amazing parents ;) Saturday night I hung out with my host sister, Nocas, and her friends... it was her birthday weekend so she had about 15 girls come over and drink, eat, etc. Everyone was soooo nice but the language barrier became a problem so I ended up going out to Bairro Alto to meet up with friends. Thennn today, sunday, was the most unproductive day in years for me. Didn't. do. anything. I was literally in bed all day blogging and watching Gossip Girl, I probably should have been applying for internships and studying my Portuguese. Hmm. It was cloudy - don't judge. :)

Anyway, some photos of the aquarium:
