So then I went off to Porto and met up with Afonso and Constanca. Nuno was super nice enough to drive me up there =) We all met up at a cute garden teahouse where I met some of their friends, again they all speak Portuguese so i was kinda just there. I then went back to their apartment which is super cute, its very new and looks like ikea haha. We went out for dinner with their parents and had the greatest sandwich of my life, i repeat greatest sandwich: Francesinha! all sorts of meat covered in melted cheese and a tomatoey sauce. I would kill for another one. The next day we walked around the city and went to some of the tourist places and strolled around the city. The next day I went to a foundation and Gaia. THANK YOU to Afonso and Constanca for showing me around and letting me stay with them!
We then made our way to Ovar, Afonso and Constanca's hometown. Their house is so beautiful! Again we walked around the city and went to the shore. The next day qp and karoline joined us. It was Carnaval weekend! so at night we went out for dinner with their friends, called the drink team and the beers just did not stop coming. We continued to party throughout the night and people were wearing their costumes, a lot of very sexual costumes...haha. it got really cold at night and by 4-5am i was freezing, the sun came up and i was tired and finally got home at 7am. The rest of the day was pretty much wasted with me sleeping. and at night repeat except we got home at 3am. The next day I just pretty much chilled around and met a lot of their family, grandparents, aunts etc it was really neat to see into Portuguese people's houses. Magic Monday night came along. We had an amazing dinner cooked from their mom. She cooks so well! There are the chicken deep fried balls they were so good they just melt in your mouth. I put on some mouse ears and called that a costume and went out for the carnaval. There were a lot of people and of course alcohol everywhere. After some churros and a giant hotdog later I was ready to go home at 4am because I had to fly out to Turkey the next day at 9 am, it was hard.
