Journal Entry:
Spent the morning sleeping in, lounging, finding a Laundromat, and turning in some film to be developed. Met up with Christian, Thomas, and Bettina (friends from Norway).

We all had lunch together then spent the afternoon at the beach. It was overcast but still warm, so the cold water felt good. After a couple hours it got really gray and there were even a few drops so we moved up to the cafe above the cove and had a couple beers. After arranging to meet later, Amy and I headed back into town and the others headed back to Portimão - where they're staying.

Amy bought a pair of sunglasses and I picked up my photos. We looked over the photos another Italian diner (different restaurant). I just picked out four random rolls which included photos from Tanzania, Uganda, Ethiopia, Morocco, and Portugal. My favorite were some great lioness and cub photos from Ngorongoro Crater. On the way back to the house we did some food shopping, then hung out for a couple hours.

Met up with Christian, Thomas and Bettina. W went to a couple bars in Lagos, then a club out in Portimão (called H2O). Ended up being a major night with way to much drinking. Bettina didn't drink and some how managed to get us home - though I don't remember it - around five.
