Anyway, I'm still not feeling great, but I was really excited to go to the beach today!! We checked out of the hotel around 10:30, and then went straight to the beach. One of my friends and I rented a couple of lounge chairs and an umbrella on the beach so that we wouldn't have to lie in the sand. We swam in the ocean some, and relaxed in the shade some, and then around 12:40 we went over to the showers and rinsed off. We did a sort of crazy clothes changes act with people holding up towels and stuff, but finally we were all changed and ready for lunch. We ate at a sub restaurant, which was pretty good. I had a ham and brie sub, but it wasn't as good as the one I had in Porto.
We got back to the bus area around 1:45 only to find out that our bus had gotten stuck in a sandy parking lot!! He had to wait another hour and a half because it was a Sunday, and they had to find a tow truck!! We spent the time walking around the shops at the edge of the beach, and then got some ice cream at a stand. We finally got to get on the bus around 3:30. The bus ride back was pretty uneventful...I wasn't feeling great so I mostly just listened to music and looked out the window. We stopped at a gas station, and I got a coke for my headache, but then I spilled it all over me in the bus. Awesome. When we got back I had to take the metro all the way back home, carrying all my luggage.
Basically, I got home exhausted and covered with salt, sand, and coke. Now, I'm going to shower, because I have never wanted a shower so bad!!
