a man with a golden heart

we finally found the way to get out of porto! it was a heck of a drive for ben! i wish i could have done something - a brother's caring instinct. it was difficult to get out of porto because of 1. less signs 2. so many roundabouts and late signs 3. confusing circular highways.

we cheered as we finally on the way to the beaches of furadouro. but we must pass the small town of ovar first.

now it got a bit confusing again! THERE WERE NO SIGNS AT ALL!!!!

i was really worried for ben he was driving in the heat. i know he was tired but he kept saying he was not.  i want to ask for directions but its so samn difficult because the portuguese dont speak spanish nor english.

i finally asked a man, my god! i was talking in spanish and he was talking in portuguese - i was asking for directions to FUCKING OVAR WHERVER THAT IS! hahahahaha he was signaling just go back to the main highway but i couldnt get the details at all. i was so desperate in that moment - but suddenly he motioned for us to wait - WHY?! when he came back he was with his car and asked us to follow him! OH MY GOD!!!!!!! portuguese hospitality at its best! i looked at the sky and closed my eyes! hahahahahahahahaha

when we were in the roundabout that weve missed because the sign was gone - he motioned that we go straight and when we finally arrived at the end with a big monument that is ovar already.

thank you very much - whoever you are.

and thank you my lucky rubber duckie you saved me again.
