Portugal...
Posted 24-07-2009 at 03:27 AM by Cheeky Hobbit
Finally here!
I had to sleep after the trip. I've been doing this too many times, I'll soon get used to it though, I hope.
Anyways, I stepped off the plane, my friend took me to his house, and slept there. My girlfriend helped him cook, little did I know their both great cooks.
The food was good and I was able to drive around. I felt like walking once we got in town and was able to snap a lot of photos. We stopped at restaurant and got a drink. Very nice here.
Mean while my Portuguese is still improving. I think a woman was offended when I tried to hello to here. My bad!
I also got to squeeze in some practice with a team from town. My friend was on the team and I got to join them for a game. We came back from 3 down, I got the game winner!
It was just a little chip over the goalkeeper. My girlfriend took photos of the game, she's also a very good photographer. Afterwords we had a penalty shootout for fun.
It went into sudden death and it was my turn to go up. Walked up, set the ball down, backed up, whistle blew and sent the ball bottom left. It was class.
We ended up winning the shootout.
ANYWAYS!!
I'm going to the Dragao soon, just to look around the outside.
Post later, thanks for reading! Sorry for any spelling or grammer, kinda in the rush.

Good entry. Bit about offending the locals was an amusing part. I usually don't bother trying to learn the language for that reason
although I don't usually spend long in one place.
I imagine you've got fantastic weather out there as well. Rubbish here in England atmPosted 24-07-2009 at 03:52 PM by KingCantona07

Thanks, I'll put more time in the next one. Yeah, I'm so glad she didn't pick a fight, she looked pretty athletic. Luckily my friend bailed me out and she turned out to be really nice.
Nice and sunny here, don't really miss the rain back home.
By the way, sorry about the color of the background, I can't seem to read my comments unless I highlight it.Posted 24-07-2009 at 05:04 PM by Cheeky Hobbit
