Day 14
So I've just finished packing we were going to go to the disco but i'm not really feeling up to it.
The day started off with us driving to Madalena to a place called Dark. It's a little cafe/restolounge bar all rolled into one... Diogo and I played pool while justin and my mother waited for food. The food was edible but nowhere as good as the other food i've been eating.
We left and went to pick up my sisters contact lenses...so Sarah if your reading this I didnt forget...and my mother bought me a pair of Rayban's.
We went to my sisters god-fathers house and said some goodbyes not before getting some places advice on places to hang out in Lisbon where we'll be tomorrow.
We came home and i had some fresh cheese to munch on and after drove over to my grandparents house on my dad's side alone. It was a little emotional considering i don't know when and if i'll see them again. It was really nice though. She gave me a wine kozy and a tray cover all knit in that algora type thread that she did herself... She wished me a good trip and i was on my way.
When i got home Diana and Cristina were there to get their nails done... they didn't realize that we were going out to dinner. We invited them to come along since there was no way my mom was going to be doing anyone's nails this night. It was nice to have the people that i enjoyed being with the most on this trip come along for my last meal in Pico and was it ever the meal. I don't think i ever had such a good piece of Cod Fish the way i did. Justin had the squid which he seems to really enjoy as well. The restaurant wasn't like any other one we had been to while we were here. The setting was rustic and the food was great. We left and made our way to the festa do lagido.
There everyone was dancing to the chamarita again and we downed a few beers. The weather today was cold and rainy so it didn't make for an enjoyable time to be outdoors probably the worst weather we've had since i've been here. However the company is what's made it a very good time. I'm going to miss this place... the animals and the peoples and the coffees even though i haven't had an americano in 2 weeks. I can't wait to hit a starbucks i just hope to find one on the mainland.
I'm not going to post any pictures today. I have taken a few but they are memories i'd just rather not share and keep to myself.
So i guess i'll be signing off and the next time I write will be from Lisbon... hopefully the internet will be faster there. So hope you've enjoyed my Pico trip as much as i have even if it's just through this blog.
To the people that i'm leaving behind... I'll see you soon I'm sure. Amigos para sempre!
Ciao
