Lu & Marc take a trip to Portugal
Lu & Marc take a trip to Portugal to visit Lu's friends Paige, Marcella, & Catalina for a couple weeks. They need a vacation, a chance to spend sometime together & want to go back to Portugal. Dylan takes care of things at the RWHC while Lu is away.
-- Lu & Marc wake up early to board a six-thirty flight. Marc suggests sleeping on the plane. Lu may take him up on his idea. She just got done w/ Wednesday night clinic & she's super exhausted. They arrive in Portugal around one in the afternoon. (Had a couple lay overs which they both dis like.) Now they are both just glad to be in Portugal again. --
Lu: "Hey you guys look great! I'm so happy to see you!"
Marc: "I need something to eat we haven't had anything all day, but airplane food uggh."
Marcella: "Don't worry baby we have much food at home for you & you mom Luisa."
Catalina: in Spanish "Luisa baby Marc isn't a baby anymore he a charming young man."
Paige: (laughs) "C'mon lets get yous home now."
-- Dylan is back at the clinic w/ doctor Throten, Peter, Nick & Lana. The clinic was pretty slow. But the ER was a different story.--
