The "Cuckoo's Nest" and the "Pen"

On Saturday we took a bus and had no idea where it was going to take us, as we left Coimbra and were going farther out into the country I was getting a little afraid, but we reached our destination-the Psych Hospital-that's right we have an investigator in prison and one in the Psychiatric Hospital. We don't know why she was initially in there, but she tried to kill herself when it was time to leave after being there for 10 years. She speaks English, she lived in the US so it was awesome to teach in English to her, we teach well together in English -_-´ we're still working on the other language-sigh- anyway it was a good lesson the spirit was strong, she even said the prayer for us. She's had a very hard life though and she's a very numb and cold person—so we'll see how it goes. It was just a funny experience to be there though, because I. Svedin and I. Call were a little freaked out to be there with the psychos-okay I was too-only a little—and we were totally lost walking around-it was an adventure for sure-because it's this place hidden in the woods.
