2nd, 3rd & 4th of April


In this weekend I went to Nazaré for a religious meeting. We have this meetings every years, but this time enjoyed a lot as I met a many people and some that I hadn't seen for a long and also some that I met in 2007 in England. The objective of this get together is to know new people and to make us aware that how dependent we are on God and without Him life is impossible - to those who don't believe in God, this may sound weird, but for me it's not like that. One of the proofs that God really exists is the "production" of blood, which is only produced by Him and never in any laboratory.

Despite having so much fun and knowing what was expecting me, I confess that I hesitated a lot whether to go or not...

Going to Italy...

Today I woke up at half past five, a bit earlier that the other days, because today I was going to Italy- Milan! I was really happy as I've never been there. And when we hear about Milan, the first thing that comes to our mind is: shopping, big stores...
Well, still talking about Lisbon... I arrived at the airport at the time we had decided, but I had forgotten the meeting point and I didn't have the mobile phone, so I couldn't even call the teacher or Carolina. But after looking for them for a while I found them (the airport is not that big, so there was no problem). Then, we checked in, said goodbye to our parents and went towards the gate. Before that, we have to go through a metal detector and we have to put our possessions in a basket, so they can see what's there by X-Ray. While doing that, one of the security guards might have thought I'm a terrorist or kind of, and asked his colleague to check me more. To calm me down, the teacher told me that they were checking like from 20 to 20 people... I guess I did not believe in that. Come on! I can see the reality... or maybe not. After that, we showed a bit of the Lisbon airport to Carolina, as it was her first time and then we went to our gate, which didn't take too long to open. Unfortunately, the plane took a long time to take off, it was supposed to depart at half past eight, but it only did at nine o'clock, more or less, but we arrived on time to Madrid (we still got some time to eat a sandwich) to catch our plane to Malpensa, which on the other hand, was right on time. At two o'clock we were in Milan, where once again the guard stopped me to ask where I was from... only when Carolina told him we were from Lisbon he let us go... Then we waited a while for the teachers' friend that was going to give us lift to Cadorna, where we would be meeting Giulia and her father, to take us their home.
