We were supposed to go to Portalegre in the morning, but it was a little rainy so we pushed Portalegre off until the afternoon. John and I took a trip to the library in Castelo de Vide for some internet time, but their internet connection was so slow that it took me 20 minutes just to check my email. I gave up pretty quickly on using the library for internet access.
In the afternoon, we did make it to Portalegre. I dropped everybody off at the grocery store while I went to the gas station and vacuumed the car out. It really needed it after nearly two weeks of the kids trashing it. Maria wanted to go to the jewelry store in the city, so I dropped her off while I went to park the car. Seven trips around the park and 30 minutes later, I finally found a parking space. Of course, Maria was just walking back from the jewelry store by then, so we just jumped right back into the car and headed home.
When we got there, Vanessa and Joe joined us on a trip to Spain for more shopping. Kevin had a meltdown there, so I headed back to the car with him to sit it out while the others continued shopping and whatever.
After dinner and getting the kids to bed, I decided that I was ready to come home now. The countdown had officially started.
