Finally I am connected !!! It has been difficult but I have managed to buy a sim and am BACK ON LINE !!
My arrival in Portugal was 3 days ago and and it feels like a blur fueled by adrenalin, excitement, bureaucratic frustration due to the expiry of my POrtuguese ID card and lots and lots of amazing Portuguese tarts !!!
My arrival in Lisbon airport at 11:00 pm at night was euphoric to say the least. Two screaming women hugging and kissing each other in the middle of the arrival hall was met with strange looks, but. We did not notice it. This was followed by endless talking talking talking which started from the moment we hugged, during the taxi ride home, into her gorgeous dollhouse apartment and virtually into the early hours of the night. Lasting friendships are truly amazing and time does not weary them.
Have already plunged deep into what we do here in Portugal which is talk politics, eat, shop and enjoy the glorious weather.
It is Saturday morning and I have have still managed to wake up at 7 am even after going to bed at 3 after an amazing night with my beautiful RIta and the love of her life Mito. Mito cooked an amazing dinner and we ate and talked and talked and laughed in their gorgeous apartment in the beautiful historic and now THE place to be in Lisbon, The Bairro Alto. Their apartment is right in the main "strip" and from their little wrought iron veranda we watched the nightlife below. We then walked to their artist studio where Rita and Mito gave Lucinda and I a private viewing of their amazing art. They are truly talented and one day they will be rewarded with the recognition they justly deserve.
Today we will walk to the baixa and have our first morning Portuguese Tart with the compulsory expresso. Then ......we will seed. Stay tuned. The Portuguese tart No 2 arrives tomorrow !!!!
