i am now in portugal

not to long ago i left pierettes place in switzerland and went to see my brother in halle germany. it was nice to see him again. then i went to basel switzerland and hung out with tim. then i took a 10 pm flight to porto, portugal.
it was 11 30 when i got into porto. i asked a security guy where the light rail was and he gave me a rail pass and showed me to the train. what a nice guy!!! i had to take the train to campanha which is an hour or so from porto. then i was supposed to take the train to rodao, but the trains were not running that late. so i started walking around looking for a dry flat spot to sleep. after a little while i was sitting and i started talking with this lady and i asked her if i could stay at her place. she said she didnt have room. i believe her.i kept walking and i thought some guy was following me. i stopped and sat on a stoop. he came up to me and said something i didnt understand. i said no Portuguese. then i said. je me pelle dward, and then i shook his hand. he kept looking at my bag. then he left. soon after i came to a park with a few trees and such. it was somewhat well lighted and i didnt want to be seen sleeping with all my stuff with me. so i literally went and slept inside a bush. i big bush. not as big as you are thinking but big enough for me to crawl under it with my stuff. i put the tarp i had on the ground. i noticed it smelled like dog poo in there. gross. hahahahaha. it started to rain soon after so i took out my big trash bag and pulled it up to my waist. i slept for an hour or so then woke up a bit chilly so i went and found a new spot. a much better spot down some stairs that was dry and covered. no one could have seen me. i took out my sleeping bag and slept for another couple hours until it was time to go back to the train station.
3 hours later i was in rodao, portugal where michael picked me up. nice guy. we went to this bakery that uses a big old fashioned bread oven. then we went back to his place. so buautifull here. rolling hills and olive trees. old houses that look over a hundred years old. at the house i met his girlfriend maobi. very cool person. i like them both pretty good so far. i am excited to be working with them. i am going to help build them a compost pile and a compost toilet. tomarrow we will pick olives.
