Big Van Driving Down a Little Street in Lagos, Portugal

Last week, I was in Portugal for the NSCAA Algarve Cup Symposium. We were able to watch some amazing national team matches and training sessions, but we definitely took the time to explore Portugal as well.

One day, we took a 30-minute drive from base camp to Lagos. After viewing the beautiful rock formations jutting out from the turquoise-colored water, we returned to town to grab some lunch. But one wrong turn sent this group of NSCAA Algrave Cup Symposium candidates – Kwame Lloyd, Erin Aubry, Laura Flynn, Steve McGuirk, Gabe Messine, Natalie Smith, Erica Destache, Paula White, Erin DeMarco, Kat Connor and myself – on a roller coaster ride through the streets of Old Town.

Beware, the video that follows includes some steep stick shift hill climbs, including reverse. And yes, I’m driving. Music is complements of Angela D’Amato & Friends, aka the J-Lo rip-off I purchased for 3,80 euros that we listened to over and over and over again.
