Early birds

Os emigras hoje madrugaram e foram comer glórias, croissants, coxinhas de galinha e fatias de fios de ovos ao Moinho Velho. Gordalhões??? Nós???!!! Nááá... afinal de contas, o pequeno-almoço é a refeição mais importante do dia. Conclusão:

Deitar cedo e cedo erguer dá saúde e faz...

Erm...... crescer??

Rooftops at sunrise

We don't look at many of these in California...

Not to mention the VLSB night security guard that actually showed up while I was taking this picture and that showed me a similar one he had taken earlier this week with the T. rex :)

Shiny and slippery. It had been too long since I had last touched it.

Fruit fly philosophy

Time flies like an arrow. Fruit flies like a banana.

Smart squirrel

During lunch break on campus. Working its way up...

Dragon Dim Sum

Celebrating the Chinese New Year!!

Don't speak chinese?? Just pick and point to the dim sum dishes that servers push around on carts. As far as I can tell, everything looks and tastes delicious anyway.

And there is only one item on the menu with "Fabulous" on the name:

And if you're going to San Francisco...

Be sure to wear some hair in your flowers.

And sitting on the left side of the plane sure won't hurt either.
