This weekend the majority of the group went to Portugal and it was amazing!

we left Salamanca at 3:30 and it was a 6 hour drive to Lisbon. However, in Spain there's a law that says that every 4 hours the bus driver needs to take a 45 minute break. This can be split up throughout the 4 hours. I guess that's the only law they have or care about because they drive like they have no laws and i guess theres nothing wrong with texting while driving a bus full of college students across a country's boarders. Veryyyy interesting. Asi es la vida.

My favorite part of the trip was going to a Castle that cost 4 euros. it was amazing! you can literally go anywhere you want in and around the castle and it would take all day to do so. We walked throughout the green section of the castle tour and had to cross a pond to get to the other side into a cave. the pond was about 4 feet deep and the stones were just a little bigger than my feet. It led into this dark cave where you had to take pictures to see where you were going and then it entered into a cove that had a a circular staircase made of stone. so cool!

The other nights were very relaxing. A few of us would go out, have a glass of wine, then a bottle, meet gay french guys, pick the nose on huge portraits, and so on.
