Beja, Portugal

Okay, I know I'm bad about updating and this is actually from quite awhile ago, but I had the opportunity to go to Beja, Portugal and it was gorgeous! It's not a place we normally get to go for trips so I jumped at the chance to be on the crew. We had great missions and even better freetime. We just walked downtown, although it was quite a hike.

We visited a castle in the center of town....I know, how amazing, a castle in Europe! It was cool because you could see from the top of it and there was a bull fighting ring down the street. Also, there was a Geo cache sight on top of the castle as well. I'm not really into the geocaching scene, but one of the guys was so we went to find it. Apparently there were quite a few in the area, but I only found the one. I was, of course, there with a really great group of people who were willing to take lots of pictures and go see all the historic sites with me!





Whenever we fly we practice Emergency Procedures so we will know what to do if the real thing ever happens. We decided to have a photo shoot. This is what our oxygen masks look like. With them on we are capable of still talking on the radio so even if we have a fire or loss of pressure we can still safely control aircraft. Not that we ever would have to do this in real life of course, but it's important that you practice it as often as possible so if the time EVER comes that you need to do it for real you won't hesitate.
