I'll be offline until Tuesday… hubby and I are going to Lisbon for the first holiday we will have had in more than five years. I promise to eat a custard tart for each one of you :-)

thanks sweeties!
LIsbon, was, well… lots of things.

I think it wasn't really the vacation we needed - Hubby and I are terrible tourists, we have kind of OD'd on touristy things ( museums, local crafts, shops, monuments, quaint old towns), and Lisbon really was that kind of city and a big one - LOTS of walking up and down incredibly steep cobblestoned streets - so much that my feet ended up feeling really bruised.

Our hotel, being a cheapie, wasn't a place to hang out in, so we did all that walking…wondering what restaurant to eat in etc. I'm not too good with lots of choice, curiously. I always wonder if there 'is something better' (hmm, a life note perhaps).

The best bits were cafe's in the morning, and watching hubby's face as he ate his first custard tart. Believe me, they are incredible. And we had some nice food here and there. It rained every day except the last two days. One day-trip we went to Sintra, which is a town nearby, that was nice, lovely park we wandered through. Another we went to a beach town, but it was a bit sad, not warm enough to enjoy, and quite touristy.

Next time I think I'll choose a small town rather than a city, or a village by the beach when we are sure the weather is hot. And, my EA (existential angst) as hubby calls it probably means that anywhere I go these days isn't going to be 'quite right'.

I missed you all.
