i think this is the first time i've ever been home sick. and it sucks. i miss my friends but i can't get a hold of them or they just dont want to talk to me or something. I miss my own bed. i dont even remember how many hotels weºve stayed in so far, i think 5? and about 10 more to come. we had a private tour of a vineyard and a place where they make port(forget the name of it, my dad would shun me) here in Port, Portugal. That was extremely neat. tasted wayy too many ports. and even though we spit them out i was kinda tippsy and tired from it.(Port has brandy mixed with it so there's a higher alcohol content.) they had this port that was 77% alcohol and tasted like freakin fire. i just stuck my finger in it and tasted it, otherwise it would have burned all my tastebuds off iºm sure. the seafood here is amazing. everything is fun here, but i really am getting homesick and i dont like it. im usually pretty pre-occupied on trips. i think also having access to the internet makes it worse because i expect to talk to people and i never get to, and no one write me back. i love the coffee here, it's fucking amazing, and i usually donºt like coffee all that much. thereºs lots of germans here, especially on the beaches in portugal... and they tend to be pretty heavy and not wear much, sometimes nothing. and they arenºt very polite at all. a lot of portogese are pretty nice as long as you dont act like an idiot tourist. everytime our family goes out too eat everyone stares at my mom and me because women donºt usually go out after dark. portagese is a weird language... it sounds like spanish mixed with russian kinda. or if you were trying to speak spanish with a jawbreaker in your mouth. lots and lots of old buildings, once youºve seen about 20 you feel like youºve seen them all. It is beautiful here though, i'm taking advantage of it. i think i just need to get over this hump im in. sense we left seviila spain, i haven't really drinkin' much. i think i'll hit the bar in the hotel myself tonight. that seems safe enough. i hope everyone is doing well... if you want to e-mail me i would love it. if anyone has even read this. : beatrixkid_53@hotmail.com
