Here are a couple. This first picture is a nice view of DT Lisbon and a 2 minute walk from my room. The second is a Palace at the top of a mountain in Sintra (resort village on the coast.) I just got back a few moments ago and will be meeting up with the rest of the group for another nice dinner in 2 hours.

Oh, nice shoes! smile

And Lisbon is beautiful. Love the "cake" feel of the castle. Looks like a great vacation.

Nice meeting point at the local metro station where I met the rest of the group. The whether is 29 degrees celcius or 84 fahrenheit, feeling nice due low humidity.

The entrance of the restaurant is quite tricky to find.

Carlos, you put so much work in the EPP it is amazing. I am sure every one was very appreciative, and thanks for sharing the photos. Looked like a great time was had by all.



Surprisingly easy, barely an inconvenience.

Thanks so much everybody! It was a real pleasure to make it happen thumb

Here are a couple of pictures taken on day 3/july (2 days before the EPP). PaperClip and patH only arrived on 4 July (the day after this dinner).

Ok, not everybody loves soccer. But context is everything. After the piano party I went home for a rest.

Then at 9.00 pm, the quarter final world soccer championship Holland against Costa Rica. Such a nerve wracking game. Holland hit the post so many times I lost count. But the ball didn't went in.

11.40 pm, penalties.... nerves went sky rocket

11.50 pm, YEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAHHHHHH, Holland win

12.00 pm bedtime..... lmao, I wonder if I sleep at all this night

But such a wonderful day, hah laugh
