the last picture is Bethany and I at Mary Magdalene's tomb ;)
last night was one of the most surreal of my entire life.
i kept saying "okay matt...you're in Portugal. you're at this party. what the heck...?"
being in a country for only one night gave me a lot of freedom to meet new people and dance...with boldness.

matt, i've enjoyed your pictures; they are much more pleasant to look at than brandon's beard and all the fish matt mann has been catching. i got an email from matt josefy (i'm gonna name my kid matt) and it made me feel good that you talked about me in london. that might be the first time my name was spoken in the UK. travel safely and I'm glad you drank some beer and danced the night away!
