Way back in '85 I went to Europe with a friend, Dave, for 2 months. We had Eurail passes and stayed in youth hostels. So we were free to go anywhere and do anything. About a week in I met a girl in Norway and we hit it off. We spent too much time together so while we were in Sweden, Dave took off on his own and said he'd see me at the airport when it was time to go home.

After about a week the girl had to go back home and I wanted to see more of Europe, so we split up. I decided to go to Portugal. I got off the train in Albufeira, walked down the street, and there was Dave at a sidewalk cafe. After we both picked our jaws up off the sidewalk we had a beer and we finished our European vacation together, after all.
