Default First day in Portugal (with pictures of course)

There is a link to all the pictures from the week, but if you wait I'll fiinish the story early next week.



Well, it was almost a week and terribly fun. Early Tuesday morning I arose to pack and eat some breakfast. I was a little sick and had a sore throat, but that wouldn’t stop a trip to Portugal! I’d have had to be involuntarily admitted to a hospital for that.

So, after getting everything ready we met out back behind the apartments here and headed off. It was me, 4 Chilean guys, and two beautiful Argentinian girls: both with boyfriends. We were going to have a great time.

I look forward to reading about your travels, Cross! I'm probably going to be in Portugal a little less than a year from now....for my honeymoon. So this will be some good initial research for me!

Porto is amazing. Lisbon is nice and has great night life. Both are beautiful.


If I were to live anywhere it would be Porto.... but I've never been to Spain... soon!
