Home for Christmas

First things first: there's no Christmas in Portugal without cod!

Second: gather the family, eat (cod, of course!) and open presents...

Readings of "O Meu Pipi - Sermões"

And last but not least: drink some tea

Occupy Cal

First there were rallies and there was police brutality:

Then there were tents and there were bulldozers:

Next there were books made to look like tents:

Now there are flying tents and helium ballons:

I wonder what's next... Life on campus just keeps getting more and more exciting!!

Picólinhos

Ómeudeus! Eram umas coisinhas fófinhas TÃO minúsculas quando eu os conheci!! :D

MoMA

Modern art in SF...

"Where's Wally?"... and why the hell is he called Waldo around here?

It's almost winter again...

The photos were taken several months ago during a trip to Algarve, on the weekend of the supermoon to be more precise. When it was still winter... and sunny and warm... Much sunnier and warmer then California right now! Although to be fair, it was the last weekend of winter.

Olhão

Regional pastry

Tavira

Ilha de Armona

Ria Formosa

And remember that sunset with a windmill on top of a mountain?

Well... I'm glad we finally cleared all doubts.
