Hello Portugal!!!!

So I have safely arrived to Portugal and having an absolute BLAST!!! I am staying in the upper level of a house and sleeping on the top bunk with the three girls I'm traveling with. Let me just say that I have been hot and sweaty since the moment I have arrived, I have yet to see a cloud, and am enjoying every second of it...even without AC!

There have honestly been nothing but good times since the moment I arrived. I had a position waiting for me when I can at Heather's bar as a flyer. Which is such a great time. Basically I walk around town or chill at a corner, always surrounded by other flyers because each and every bar has about 4 of them on a night. I'm basically a salesperson trying to get people on the street to come to my bar, Whytes! At Whytes we have the 9 deadly sins, which are nine different shots. If you beat the record they are free, but either way you get a tshirt. Needless to say my bars a good time. I drink for free, in fact I'm expected to be drinking throughout the night, and had a few inductions shots last night!

After work last night a group of 20 flyers headed to the beach and had a bon fire!!! We all went swimming in the ocean in our bras and underwear and then just dried off next the the fire. We didn't end up getting home until 530am!!! Which I'm coming to find is very common. Typical daily schedule of a flyer:
12pm wake up, lay around until 1pm when the rest of your house mates are up and ready go get something to eat. 2pm head to the beach, lay out and swim in the ocean until 5 or 6pm. Shower, chill, internet. 7pm dinner, 8pm work until 230-4ish depending if you stay after hours and drink with the staff! It's a pretty excellent schedule, completely devoid of responsibility! I'm loving it right now!!!

For those of you who may be wondering, I will be returning to Minneapolis on August 28th. I will be back in Appleton over Labor Day weekend and then back to Minneapolis on Tuesday for class!
