From London to Lisbon

I had breakfast and lunch in London, dinner in Lisbon. In between...a sad flight.

In September 2008 I came and spent a week in Lisbon walking around. It was the week before I took the plane to Brazil. On one of the days I went to Belem. I was anxious about my trip to Sao Paulo but I gained some perspective thinking of the fearless explorers who took their boats and sailed across the oceans not knowing what they will find. Compared to them, I knew what was on the other side so I pepped talked myself into it.

Months later that year I was in Belem again. This time though, it was Belem do Para, the city on the Amazon in the North of Brazil. I remember the first time I saw the river; I was not only impressed but I had one of those moments when I realized that I was living something I did not even dare to dream before in my life.

Now I am here again, in Lisbon, visiting dear friends after leaving London and some more...
