Hola todos!
Miss me? I've been on a "back to regular life" hiatus since I last updated the blog. I finished undergrad, started a job in D.C., quit said job to go to law school, and finished law school. Phew!
I just completed the bar exam, but we don't have to talk about it. Let's just say that I am ready for another international adventure! And since I have a few weeks off before I start my new job, I figured there was no better time to gallivant across the world.
... okay, maybe not across the world. But I am going to be checking two more countries off my list:
Iceland!
Ah yes, the land of the Northern Lights, hot springs, volcanoes, and excessive hours of summer daylight. We'll be seeing waterfalls, glaciers, and black sand beaches, going for an organized day trip around the famous Golden Circle, and taking a dip in the Blue Lagoon. I'm hesitant about trying all of the cured and pickled seafoods that seem to pop up on Iceland "foodie" websites, but it appears that (Icelanders? Icelandians? Icelandics?) the good people of Iceland have a sweet tooth of epic proportions, and you know that I'm down to try their ice cream.
Portugal!
Between my Spanish and English, I know just enough language to get us in trouble. We'll start in Porto and then bounce over to Lisbon for the majority of our time. We'll walk beautiful cobblestone streets, walk along beachfront views, walk through museums... a lot of walking. And I hear Lisbon's streets are practically vertical in some parts, so if I don't have calves of absolute steel by the time I return to the States, I want a refund.
I'll probably get some weather whiplash (hot and humid D.C. to cool and rainy Iceland to warm, coastal Portugal) but you won't catch me complaining.
Check back here every few days for updates and pictures! And if you want to learn about something specific, leave a comment! If I can oblige, I will :)
Besos,
Tina the Exploradora
