Drama, nude pics and sharp rocks.
Weird title...I know but it describes the last day of my life. So I am currently in Portugal for the weekend. The first thing I said is that I wish Chase and his extensive knowledge of this damn language were here. I´m tired of people laughing at me when I say Obregado incorrectly. I know like only 2 phrases: Onde e banho, and obregado. Pathetic, I know. Now per this entry´s namesake I shall tell you of the last 24 hours...
Yesterday we arrived in Portugal at like 1 and after getting our room we went to the beach. It was absolutely amazing. Lauren, Megan and I took some of the best pictures ever. We found this hidden cave behind a wall which we had to scale and we were all by ourselves so I took some Maxim-esque topless pics. They are ridiculously gorgeous (but only for the priviledged eyes of a select few..... ok who am I kidding, they´re fucking hot and I´m gonna want to show them to everyone. We had to climb this really huge wall and it was scary as shit since all we had was this old rope tied to a random metal rod but we made it up through the sharp rocks and it was absolutely worth it. While we were up there some boys thought that it would be funny to take the rope over to the other side (so we were basically stuck there) so we freaked out a little, but I climbed the wall without a rope (yes I know that its dangerous) and brought both ropes to our side. Assholes, they were just pissed cuz we ignored them. We were there until like 6 (I think that Jen and Emily, who had stayed behind got a little upset cuz we took forever) but the bottom line is that I have some great nude pics.
Afterwards we went and got ready and I got to do Megan and Jen´s makeup, they looked really pretty. We had dinner and then went to a party being sponsored by the tour group at a bar called Joe´s Garage. The party was really great and we had some free drink tickets but I just flashed the bartender a cute smile and I didn´t pay for any drinks, even once I was out of drink tickets. He freaking gave me a rum and coke in a beer mug. Needless to say that I got completely TRASHED. My level of wastedness is only comparable to the recent memory of the drunkenness at Karim´s chonga party. I was actually having a really good time until I looked in my bag and could not find my digital camera. I got sooo upset, they started to announce it to everyone there but Lauren and a couple of other sober people searched my bag and could not find it. I was soo upset, I could not stop crying. I was pissed, upset, depressed, any awful emotion you can think of I was feeling. We left the bar and everyone was trying to comfort me (and failing miserably). I cried all the way to the hotel (well I took a break to shove my finger down my throat and throw up). Lauren and Emily were really concerned about me and I don´t think that they realize how much it means to me that they were there for me. When we got to the hotel, they both looked through my bag again and I even had Emily search my entire bag and tell me everything that was in it for fear that something else had been taken or lost. No camera. After throwing up like 5 more time I managed to get to sleep.
I woke up this morning at like 6 and could not stop crying. I just laid in bed and felt horrible because I could not even sleep. Loosing my camera is something that affects the entire rest of my trip. I begged God that by some miracle I could find it or that someone honest enough would actually turn it in. I grabbed my bag, looked in the hidden back pocket... and there was my camera. How 3 people missed it I cannot understand, as silly as it sounds it feels like a miracle and I need to get to church today without fail. I thank God soooo much.
Now I am just hung over as all hell, but I´m ok because I have my camera. I hope that the dizziness and nausea stops soon cuz I´ve been having to throw up every hour at least but I think I may start to feel better soon. So overall my first day in Portugal has been eventful to say the least. I think that for my own personal safety and sanity, tonight I will not be going out and I´m gonna sleep with my digital camera as if it were a teddy bear (nice image huh).
I need to get back to the hotel and try to get some rest before sunset over the sharp rocks. Hopefully there will be less drama.
