So, we just got back from Portugal. WOW!!!! It was a short trip, but it was so worth it! We left on Friday night just before dinner and headed to Portugal. I still don't know the city we stayed in, but I will find that out as soon as possible. Our four star hotel on the beach was incredible. It was right next to the casino. Even though we got there pretty late, we decided we didn't have much time there so we headed to this restaurant/pub. They had a band there. I am still not sure what kind of band they were. They sang some songs in English, Portuguese, what sounded like German, and they were wearing Scottish kilts. Hmmm??? Well, it didn't matter what in the heck they were wearing because they were AWESOME!!!! Cait, Sean, Gregg, Caleb, Ben, Scott (Mrs. G's husband), and I had so much fun!
The next morning we woke up around 10ish and headed to the beach... the beach was A-W-E-S-O-M-E! They had volleyball tournaments going on, everyone was playing soccer, and the waves rocked. Almost all 55 Auburn students were together on one part of the beach. We played around
with the frisbee and the volley
ball while catching some rays. Oh, did I mention I am burnt! I love it! This day was one of my favorite days in Europe.
The food in the hotel was incredible. WAY better than food here in Spain. We got dressed up and watched the sunset... we were at the western most part of Europe watching the sunset, how sweet is that?!? We went out that night, but I was really tired and went to bed early!
We headed home at about 11 a.m. and headed to another city in Portugal. BUT-- there was a bike race going on with about 1 million participants and we couldn't find a place to park the bus so we headed to a smaller city which was so fun! We ate some pizza and walked around the ferris wheel! They had these cute stores full of jewelry and puppets! We hopped back on the bus, watched a depressing movie, and headed back to Salamanca.
I got to talk to mommy, katie, daddy, and geoff today on skype... I love skype! It was the first time I have talked to my dad all month. He was eating Moe's. I was pissed at him for that. Food over here just isn't the same as American food! I went on a run after dinner and now I am sitting in my bed. I miss you guys... I know I say that a lot, but I really do. I'll be posting pictures soon! If you haven't seen them yet the link is just below! I love you all!
