Enga mellom fjella

Yesterday was Mother's Day...

...so I called my mother.

Me... I'm in Lisboa. Bus trip yesterday was short and uneventful. €12,50. Not hard to catch the local bus either, though I missed one; they run every 15 minutes on Sundays. I'm back at The Independente, €39/4 nights. Got my lower bunk and went out for sushi and set in the miradouro overlooking the city at sunset.

Helped an Australian from Sydney find his phone ...first like at facebook? Linda from Queensland. LOL.

Mondays are a slow start to the week here. Museums are closed. So I must visit Alfama and get lost in the narrow streets.

Day started out with breakfast and a chat with a young writer from Belgium.

Dia da Mãe... yesterday the 4th in Portugal, next Sunday the 11th in the U.S., the 7th in our family. My mother will be 92.
