Here Comes the Sun....







The sun finally came out today! It was gorgeous. I walked from Estoril (where my apartment is) to Cascais and back...it's a beautiful walk that I plan on taking advantage of every day. There are little cafes the whole way with perfect views where you can stop to eat or drink (I have a feeling Lisa and I will be frequenting these - I also found 3 bars within walking distance!). Today was my first alone day - Caitlin and Taylor left this morning. It was so fun to have them here to welcome me and to show me around the first few days. I miss them already! I ventured out to the grocery store and then to the beach. I'm hoping tomorrow will be just as nice! Thankfully no more explosions - I did meet the nice neighbor downstairs today and she told me it was a snapped wire/ cable. She also gave me her cell number in case I needed anything :) Love to you all!

p.s. UB - pretty sure I saw Fritz today...apparently the dogs in Portugal eat as well as the dogs in Portland :)

Oh Jill! I am so so happy the sun has come back. (although sad it waited until we left.) I hope you had a great day in Belem. Did you get a pastel de nata?

Taylor and I miss you already!

It looks so fun. You're doing a great job archiving. I think I may just use some of this as our own history with Akbar--especially since I didn't take a single photo the whole time. Don't forget I'm out of Ginja and need a replenishment before you return. Can't wait for the next update. El Squeed....
