Ola everybody!  First I must apologize for how long it has taken me to write a blog entry …I know you have been anxiously waiting by your computer.  Things have been pretty regular here!  As I’m sure you have learned by now, my Parkie came to visit for about ten days which was wonderful.   We had an amazing time travelling to Cascais, exploring Lisbon, and memorizing and filming the “Single Ladies” Beyonce dance with Jess and Alison (Parker was Beyonce and looks fabulous as a blonde…we are

Looking towards a bright future

 

 

Mocking people in love

trying to post it on the blog but are having technical difficulties).  We also found time to take some loving engagement pictures (Jess and Alison got jealous and decided to join in the fun).

 Otherwise, classes have been going well…I’m really enjoying the intellectual property class that we are enrolled in right now. The Professor is American (from William and Mary) and he is both entertaining and engaging and the American girls love him J

After classes, we have done some more exploring of the city and I think that by now we pretty much know our way around.  The city seems large on a map but you can definitely walk to nearly everywhere. The picture is of Martim Moniz which is a square containing a fountain memorial.  The square is about a five minute walk from our casa.    

 

 

 

 

We are continuing to get to know our new friends here who are nothing short of fabulous.  Ana Patricia has been our savior- taking us to dinner, driving to Belem, showing us the nightlife, etc.  She even brought us DVDs in English today (which is awesome bc our tv sucks) and is having us over for lunch tomorrow. 

 

In other news, we got verbally assaulted this morning on our way to class.  A random man ran up to us and yelled “F*%$ you” then mumbled something in Portuguese.  I was so startled I dropped by umbrella and started shaking…the girls made fun of me all day.  I think people are starting to know about us here already.  We went to a landmark the other day and someone working there asked us if we were from Missouri [creepy!!!].

Otherwise, things are great!  I miss everybody from home!
