ok, so i flew to lisbon and i was supposed to connect to a flight to an island called sao miguel, its about 2 hours west of portugal. my flight to lisbon was late, and i had to get my bags and recheck them before flying off to sao miguel, but one of my bags was lost and i ended up missing the flight. I spent the night at a hotel in lisbon, which was very nice after spending the last few weeks in cramped hostels without any luxuries, so yeah. It was a little difficult getting there thought because the bus driver told me i couldnt bring my bags on the bus, which was entirely rediculous, because how am i supposed to get anywere. I ended getting on the next bus just fine. SO i then flew out of lisbon the next afternoon and i landed in sao miguel just fine. I then made it to the hostel and here i am in the city of ponta delgada, on the island of sao miguel, the azores archipelago, in the country of portugal. Everything is going pretty well. I had my first portuguese class today, which is exciting. In portuguese my name is Joao, which has a french type of sound to me. ANyway, sorry i cant give too much detail, i just have to catch you all up on so much and i dont want it to be too long. i will have more internet now than before so i can post more often and give you more detail. Gotta go! bye bye! Obrigado(thanks)
