Lagos is where it's at

Well Portugal is coming to it's end. Already a week gone by. Boy, does time fly!

So the last two days I have been spending in Lagos, which to me is pretty near to the ideal summer spot. I would say it's Portugals' Tofino. Lagos is in the south of Portugal. If you go any more south you hit Morrocco.

I took a bus to Lagos from Lisbon. It was so beautiful and the scenary felt like it belonged in Africa. I saw skinny brown cows grazing in the grass, except the grass wasn't green? Maybe thats why they were so skinny.

In Laos I went on a dolphin excursion in the channel of Atlantic water between Portugal and Morroco. It sounds so cheesy but I really wanted to see them and I haven't ever seen dolphins up close in the wild before. I was so excited when they came to the boat. I wanted to jump off the boat so badly. They were common dolphins with white bellies. They probably were probably between 5 and 6 feet long. They would follow the boat and surf the waves. They were jumping and having a good time. I think they know that they are liked and then they get really excited to see humans.

Lagos is hot. It was 30 degrees when I was venturing but the locals told me it normally should of been between 40 and 45 dgrees celcius. Suprisingly, the water isn't that warm.

Then today I went on a kayak trek which was also fun. I went through some caves and explored a lot of the south of Portugal gravitating towards the Atlantic ocean. There are so many interesting rock formations and caves. The coast is an accumulaiotn of pourous cliffs. They are tan and the layers of formation are more than evident. We also saw some ancient ruins from three hundred years past of a temple that fell because of an earthquake.

After that I hit the beach with some friends I made. I have decided that my body looks like uncooked white chicken with a burnt Malta meatball for a head. And now, I load on the SPF.

Well, next stop: Rome
