Visiting Friends to Start a Project

myeverydayeats
I started a project with a friend/photographer to interview and photograph locals in Portugal. Today we are visiting two friends to help us to move the project forward. Also, they will be the first interviewees for us. Took a train from Rossio Station, which is like a museum.

They made us lunch. I was not expecting to make good friends like them during pandemic. I am so lucky or maybe it wouldn’t be difficult to make a friend if you open up yourself like we all do when children. By the way he uses sake cup, I brought as a gift from Japan as espresso cup. That works well.

On the train back to Lisbon, I felt so sick…We took a break at the legendary café Nicola. A little bird visited our table.

Thai Lunch

myeverydayeats
Breakfast @ 7:00 a.m., Duck rice @ 8:30 a.m., I was not feeling this morning and had to cancel an online call with a friend…

Around noon I felt better and craved for Thai food. We could order UberEats, but I went out to pick up instead because lunch set is available only for a pickup and cost would be twice for the delivery. My favorite Thai place is on the hill. Today, the escalator was working for the first time for me!

Lunch: Pad Thai + egg rolls & Ginger Chicken + dumplings (7.90€ x 2) @ 1:15 p.m.
This dark chocolate is so good with passion fruit sauce inside.

Lisbon Day 1

Oh no!

I felt so exhausted and sick when waking up an hour before landing. I have to admit I hadn’t gotten over the cold/stomach flu during a Japan trip a few days before we left Portland.

Landed at 9:30 a.m. A good news is that it’s warmer in Lisbon (18-20 degree C)

First thing we did at Lisbon Airport was getting SIMs.

Taking taxi and arriving at Airbnb. It feels so local, so Lisbon. We love it!

I looks beautiful, but this hill is killing me!!!

This stone sidewalk as well. We had to walk down here to see a real estate agent. She was professional and nice.

 

I crashed into bed after a meeting with the agent. Couldn’t eat anything. My husband had only sandwich from a supermarket nearby.

Our first day in Lisbon was beautiful but tough and bitter.
