Back to Portugal

I’ve returned to Lisbon for 2 weeks now, which gives me no excuse for not posting something...:) My first week was basically to get over the jet leg and a quite tiring trip (yes, I had the honour to be entitled to not one, but two stops in the Azores!;)). This second week passed by already more to the Portuguese rhythm, working in the lab (I’ve ordered some really nice stuff :)) and (as we say in Portuguese) still “killing” saudades (sorry, no translation possible :);)) of family and friends, of the food and the ocean, and of the beautiful weather. Speaking of which, it’s getting really hot these days, I must say...

Maria Rita


One of the good things about Boston is definitely it's cultural opportunities; yesterday I took the opportunity and went to see Maria Rita at Berklee (it seems that her younger sister studies at Berklee), which was really nice as it was probably one of my last social/cultural events before I return to Portugal (good weather and food, here I come ;)).
And yes, that pink spot it's her.... :)))

If you ever ran out of ideas of where to put your plants....just look at your shoes.... :))
