Journal Entry:

Spent the day at the beach. The beaches West of downtown are all small coves, most of them connected via arches (most natural, some man made). Hiked through three or four of the before finding one that had shade (steep cliffs), the perfect view (three arches), and not that many people (maybe a dozen). Most of the day was spent getting wet (perfect temperature, maybe 70° F), and laying in the sun until dry. Repeat. When the sun dropped behind the walls of the cove and the wind picked up it started to get cold. Unfortunately the tide had come up three or four feet and the formerly dry tunnel into the cove was now several feet under water. Luckily the next cove had a stairway so only had to wade through the first.

Went out drinking with my roommate. He's taking off for Sagres tomorrow. Got home a little before four.
