Hello dear friends and readers. I’m writing to you from my current perch in the Alfama (the old Muslim quarter of the city) on my last night here in Lisbon. I know I still owe you a second Porto round-up post, and many other posts that I have thought about writing but haven’t yet put to paper, but I will beg your indulgence of my absence these last few days – I have, as they say, been living a lot of life. I will definitely have more thoughts to proffer tomorrow from the airport and reflections later on over these next few weeks. For now, however, in a fit of nostalgia – or really most likely, saudade – and a burst of gratitude, I’m going to post a few of my favorite shots from this wonderful trip. I hope you enjoy – more soon.
