I was presented with the crazy idea of flying out to Nazare, Portugal play witness to the biggest waves the world has ever seen. Only two days before the trip began, I was having dinner with my fiance, Ewa, and received a text from my good friend Mark. Mark stated that he just bought his tickets to Portugal, and that he'd be leaving two days later. I was compelled to tell him "NOT WITHOUT ME, BRO"! I checked my flight miles to see if it was even possible to make the trip. I needed 45,000 points to go, well... I had 45,185!!! I was in!!!
I had no idea what I was getting in to, but I had to go. Knowing next to nothing about Portugal, I felt "what do I have to lose".
The wave was something that I've only read about, and seen on the internet. A cross between Endless Summer, and Deadliest Catch, Nazare has a presence that can only be felt in person.
This is Day One of my journey.
