DESCRIPTION: A short script retelling the tale of how a couple of girls and I nearly got lost in Portugal. In June of 2019 I had the immense privilege of traveling to Portugal, Spain, and France through the company EF Tours. My school’s group of five joined together with students from Texas, Illinois, and Alaska for our travels. We stayed in a number of hotels ranging in quality, but the night we were each assigned villas in the Costa del Sol particularly stuck out to me. For two nights I roomed with Joie, a girl from my school, and Olivia, who was from Illinois. My script tells the true story of when we lost our way navigating the villas are were able to receive directions from a kind elderly woman outside the neighborhood grocery store just before the sun went down.
