April has been a wonderful month. Not only because Real Madrid has defeated FC Barcelona at Camp Nou but also because it has been a really good month for all the Portland's friends. Let's make a count: Lourdes and Majo have passed their English exams (Bravo!), Lizzy has moved to Valencia (Welcome!), Alex has started working (We wish you get paid as soon as possible!), Cecilia has discovered the pleasure of baseball (Strike!) and Andrea is right now on her way to India in order to attend a wedding (But not hers!). Furthermore, Elena has been improving her plumber skills and, at this rate, she'll become the man of her house very soon. This month has seen also this blog's birth and its first steps. We've got an Aries blog, mates. An independent, passionate and enthusiastic Aries blog. I'm the only writer here so far, but I still hope that someone decides to join me shortly. Come on, guys!! It's not THAT hard!! We've had very pleasant times at Portland's. Alex was my first partner the first time I went there, about two months ago. We were quite surprised because the pub was crowded and it was even hard to move inside. We didn't really know what to do in the middle of that mob of strangers but when we ordered the first beer the miracle happened: we met our firsts friends there. I think they were Vicky, Lizzy, Silvia and then Elena, Andrea and Paul. It was amazingly easy to get on well with all of them. English is the best ice-breaker I've ever known and, since that very night, we've met a lot of people there from all around the world: from Florida to Valencia via Illinois, California, Perú and London. I love going there each Wednesday (or Tuesday or Sunday) and also reviewing the highlights with my friends on our way home. At Portland's you can feel like a foreigner in your own country and that's such an incredible experience that everybody should taste with a good beer in their hand. Do you feel like a Panty dropper?
Congratulations!! My English isn’t good, I prefer don’t write a lot in English but I read this blog and I think is a genial idea.
