Soooo close..

I came so amazingly close to being overly comfortable full tonight. I now know I am able to control myself. For example, (and yes this is 100% true) a group of us tonight after dinner went to get gelato.. alright get ready... I didn't have any! I said nope I'm full from my steak "portugese style" (which is well-cooked steak with ham and a sunny side egg on top). Pretty damn delicious if I'll say. BUT no. A friend ordered a crepe with nutella and powdered sugar. I have rarely if ever been able to deny nutella, and friends pressuring of "oh do it already, you're on holiday" did not help. Apparently being on holdiay for the next 4 months means nothing. So now as a result I am stuck in the gap between uncomfortably full and the warm fuzzy feeling you get after Thanksgiving dinner. I am now entering my third dinner coma in europe (give you a hint: this will be our third night). I was so close to the warm fuzzies yet now I am dozing off while typing this. I guess it was never meant to be to make it out to the bars. Tomorrow night!
And now to get all of your blood circulating again I'll get to the exciting adventures of our day. We walked around the little streets of Lagos making our way to the beaches which were spectacular! We laid out for a while, I swam and then we ventured down the sand looking at the towering cliffs to our sides and saw a couple local kids standing up at the top of the cliff. We waited and waited and then finally... AHHHHH!
                      BOOM!
                                        SPLASH!
I think I was in the water already heading to the cave before Edie could recommend the idea. So she of course had to come along. We swam out to the little cave in the side of the cliffs which had stairs that led up to the top of the cliffs. The boys up at the top were really very polite, "ladies first", motioning for us to make our jumps. After about 10 minutes of arguing who was to make the running start first, Edes made the first move and! Boom! Splash! All the boys made some sound effects that made me a little nervous but I knew edes would kill me if I was not swimming in the water next to her very shortly. I normally don't like losing my stomach which is why I've never been able to do the big six flags roller coasters.. but this was incredible. Now that we conquered the big cliff (we decided about the height of a 4-story building) we realized that cliff jumping is our new calling. So on our cliff hike tomorrow along the Algarve we are fully prepared to jump as many cliffs as possible. Of course after watching someone else go so we make sure we aren't jumping to our doom- like a little tester! Hopefully you hear from us tomorrow!
