Love Boat

Hello fellows,

I would like to share an experience that I had more or less three years ago. I was working in a Hotel Boat sailing along the Douro River. 

The second day (of a seven days cruise), one couple decided to went out for dinner. Less than an hour later the gentleman came back on board and asked to the Front Desk for his passport, a taxi and a good hotel in Porto downtown, when the receptionist asked for the reason why he left the ship he answered that "everything was fine, I have to solve a business problem". A few minutes later he disembarked. 

Approximately one hour later his wife came to the Front Desk very excited and asking for her husband, she had founded in her stateroom a business card from him with the following text " I want the divorce, I can't take anymore". 

When she tried to got him at the hotel he was already at the airport...

So she stayed on board until the end of the cruise...

      

Anecdote

Last year I was living in Portugal. Normally I ate in a fantastic restaurant for five euros everyday, very cheap and good. I made friends with every one at the restaurant and we talked about ourselves. One day I stopped going there because I had christmas vacation and I went home for three weeks.

When I came back to Portugal, I went to lunch at the restaurant but, when I opened the door and greeted everyone, they looked afraid when they saw me. I didn`t understand anything.

They thought that I was dead... they were seeing a phantom!

I´m alive, I promise.

I need expert help on Twitter, can somebody help?
