The day was mostly gray, but, as we were going down, I could see the sun coming out from the west coast. I decided then in mind that I would follow the sun and I would see the sunset.

After picking up Irina, I drove all the way through the coast to MADALENA DO MAR. We stopped and went for a walk on the promenade. The landscape there is incredibly beautiful. We could view both the mountains and the sea. It has been a long time since I was there the last time and I haven´t heard about this bridge that goes into the ocean.

We stepped on the bridge, Irina the front screaming and jumping everywhere in laughter and happiness, me and my sister behind just laughing at each other. She was giving me this look on how much she thought Irina was still a kid. Me… I was just thinking everybody should be like that everyday of their life and was feeling really sorry that I didn´t have the same energy she did at the time being.

Still I was able to make a run for her and give her a huge hug in the middle of the bridge. We were screaming in laughter. I guess the sea gives you high happy sensations…

It all started with phone call from a friend: “Let´s go out for a coffee? – She said.

I picked myself up from my bad mood along with my sister, and in half an hour we were in the car, descending the beautiful mountains that lead to Funchal, towards Irina´s place.
