Reflexões de um Verão incaracterístico..
Written on 9/16/2009 by João Oliveira
I'm making this quick and simple, haven't really been in the mood for long posts and gotta try not to forget any of the stuff i've been doing.
Went to spend a weekend in a lost village called Drave, by the mountains. Vicky Renato Ivo and i packed and went on a Saturday to spend the night in complete darkness and loneliness. Had to leave the car behind and carry all the stuff with us for a couple of miles (by supplies i mean the tents, sleeping bags, poker chips, some clothes, 5lt of red wine and almost no food at all). We eventualy found a great lagoon, some scouts and 2 hippie travelers - from Germany and Italy - and a beautiful abandoned village with its misteries and wonders. Time went by rather quickly, but we still had time to.. i dunno.. jump out of 4/8mt cliffs, taunt the scouts, serenade in the nude, drink (a lot), perform with vocals guitar and harmonica, sleep outside, wake up and cook breakfast with our hippie friends (homemade coffee and meat provided by the scouts, nham) and get a sun burn returning to the car. Awesome ride, must say.
Next, i had planned for my vacations to get to know the Portuguese coast a little better. Thalie and i spent some days in Ribamar, Torres Vedras with my best friend Vânia and her friends and dogs (loved to get to know the golden retrivier Clark and the chow-chow Myuki even better) and enjoyed it even more because i always spend the best time with Vânia, she's awesome. We got to visit Portinho da Arrábida in Sesimbra (below Setúbal) and it was the most paradisiac scenario.
After that, we kept going south and stayed a couple of days in Alentejo, having the oportunity to know VN Milfontes and it's buuuurning sun, which left its mark in both of us. It was the truly relaxing part of the trip, and we enjoyed the romantic part of it a lot :)
Next thing was comming back to Aveiro and start moving, i have a new spot in the house and spent some days remodeling it completely. Still waiting for the couch and PS3, those are comming soon. It's quite good right now, tks to IKEA and Moviflor :P
Last couple of weeks i've been living with loads of anxiety due to my last exam (2 actually). Hopefuly it will all be over soon.
Over and out now :)
