Beautiful Beach and Landscape in Algarve
Denise and her former boyfriend Brian took a romantic vacation together three weeks before they broke up. They had actually been having problems for a few months and had discussed ending their relationship when Brian came up with the idea of taking a trip to Algarve, Portugal to try and save the relationship. Denise reluctantly agreed to it, and if she were to be completely honest the main reason she finally said yes was because she was interested in visiting Portugal. She had some distant relatives who lived near Algarve and thought she might be able to visit them while they were there.
They made their reservations at an Algarve hotel and argued most of the plane flight on their way over. However, for a few brief moments after arriving they were both so captivated by the beauty of the landscape that it returned them to their original intrigue and fascination with each other. The geography was beautiful and they stayed in a great little resort right off of the beach. As it turned out they were visiting Portugal not only near the end of their relationship but also at the tail end of the main tourist season. It was actually a beautiful time to be there and while there were plenty of other tourists, they all seemed to be pleasant and similarly in awe of the beauty of the land and sea.
However, by the end of their first evening there they had already begun to argue again and they realized that their fascination with the landscape corresponded more to their fascination with resuming a single lifestyle than with each other. However, Brian and Denise had grown extremely close in the last couple of years and one thing they always shared was a unique sense of humor. This carried them through the rest of their trip and they actually enjoyed each other strictly as friends for a while and stopped arguing. That trip will always hold a special place in each of their memories and ironically they are closer as friends than they ever were while they were dating.
