Day Six: Beach and Basketball

Ola! This is Natalie  and Cori writing from the lobby of our hotel in Casias, Portugal.  The day started off with a late morning, and we were all glad to have the chance to sleep in after yesterday’s bus ride. After eating breakfast outside, with a great view of the ocean, the team headed to the beach. Some took advantage of the paddle boards, while others sat in the sun. From there, some of us went for lunch and shopping while some of us relaxed by the rooftop pool. It was a laid back day until we took a half hour bus ride along the beautiful Portugese coast line to our game at Sport Alges E Dafundo against a 19 and under team. After a rough battle, we unfortunately did not come out on top. However, after the game we exchanged shirts, took selfies, and make international connections and friendships with the other team. After the game we headed out to eat pizza, omelets, and other authentic foods. Being here on Memorial Day has not caused us to forget those who have fought for our country. Happy Memorial Day and thus concludes day six of our European adventures. Peace out and goodnight.
