Ever wondered how it's like to have friends you can count on? I bet you do. The road trip was amazing and it's all thanks to our friend who was willing to lend his caravan to us! With the caravan we achieved an ultimate Portuguese trip. The new year's celebrations in Aldeia Das Dez was one of my favourites.
The group of friends we met was a unique one. Everybody had entirely different views and thoughts which drove their lives, but nothing interfered with their friendship. The house was full of talented people! A poet, a software engineer, an artist (someone who drew Pickle Rick in Rick & Morty!), experience seekers and many more. Most of them some of their best in their respective fields. With a cosy fireplace and good company (and great Portuguese food of course!), what more could I ask for.
It was dark when we all went for a walk, but there was no need for a flashlight because the full moon lit up our path to the top. On the top we had a full view over the villages around and when midnight struck, the fireworks started. Every village had fireworks of their own and it was clearly a competition between them all. The moment was warm and my heart was filled with love and satisfaction. Hugs and new year's wishes were shared amongst us. Such a beautiful view! I don't have a good video yet, but a friend of mine has a drone video capturing the entire scene in it's full magnificence. As soon as I get my hands on that film, I'll share it with you.
Probably many of you have been thinking lately about what you wish for this year but for me that night, I felt complete.
I never knew playing the wolf game would be this entertaining! It's such drama and it's funny how people come up with excuses to blame someone for being the wolf. I like the mystery in this game, there are three wolves in the village but no one knows who they are. Villagers are killed one by one and they're trying to figure out who the perpetrators are. Every night ends with a victim, a suspect and then execution of the suspect who might be the wolf. The funny part is to see why someone is to blame. It can be a look, someone's too talkative or then someone's too quite.
As we droze off, one could occasionally hear the strumming guitar in the background. Always lovely with some music. A chilled out evening was perfect, especially considering the adventures we had to face afterwards. Here's some Portuguese tunes for the night.
