Early in the day the anxiety mounted with honking cars, people dressed & painted head to toe in Red, Green & Yellow, and everywhere you looked the Portuguese flag hung proudly off balconies, cars and even motorcycles. We headed downtown Faro with friends looking for food, football and pride.

Portugal winning 2-0 to Turkey, naturally sent everyone into the streets celebrating, late into the evening…and this is just beginning…
