PERFECT DAYS

I’m having such wonderful times here.  Enjoying outjazz on friday nights with amazing jazz bands, looking out over the river Tejo at the miradouro de Santa Catarina, close to the hostel where I stayed for almost two weeks and met so many lovely people, and close to my new home, that I’m so happy with.  Dancing to the great music at outjazz on sunday’s, meeting even more lovely people.  Life in Lisbon couldn’t be any better.

GETTING SETTLED

 

After almost two weeks, I’ve finally found the perfect room and I couldn’t be any happier.  It could use a bit more of a personal touch, but I’ve got 5 more months to work on that.  In the meantime, how do you like my view?   Now that my life here is slowly getting a bit more structure, the blog should get some more attention too.  So stay tuned!
