Sodom and Gomorrah is alive and well in Portugal!
Well I just read about Sodom and Gamoroah-heh like I can spell-in the bible and I’m pretty sure I just witnessed something like it yesterday—my peaceful little Coimbra on Sundays was not so peaceful. It’s called Camas das Fitas-I’m pretty sure I spelled it wrong, anywho the university here is like the oldest university in Europe or next to it, so of course they have a lo of old crazy traditions-I’ll tell you more about it when I get home, but basically what it’s turned into is one drunken mess, well it actually lasts a whole week, but yesterday is where each faculty makes a float and they wear their colors and ride around in a parade giving out things to people. So basically it’s like an open invitation for everyone to drink and so you have all of these drunk people hanging out of the floats, being ridiculous, definitely not a dignified way to show off their year of work at school. It was so loud and we had to stay in, I’d just hear sirens non stop-poor medical people-but we did try a member and she wasn’t home and we passed police men and one yelled out SISTERS and we were like hey, turns out he’s from Lisbon, they called the Police in from there to help and he talked with us told us his brother served a mission in Utah and that he appreciated our work and we were a great example, it was an awesome experience. It was nasty though the streets stunk of beer and well other unpleasentries. Well that’s enough about that.
