Another 'adult' book

It's quite difficult to get English books in Portugal. As my Portugese is ... not even bad, it's non-existent, and yet I wanted to buy a book, I got one without words.

Just numbers :-)

I love it!

A great book when you have to spend long hours at the airports.

A violet skirt

Just before I flew to Portugal I made a very simple - yet pretty - skirt.

A wintery violet fabric, black elastic waistband and some cyan ribbons.

The cyan ribbons match my cyan fleece jacket, cyan soft-shell jacket, cyan T-shirt, cyan umbrella, cyan earphones ... scary :-)

Coming home...

After a week of almost constant rain, the sun came out.

Finally!

So no wonder I started shooting like crazy. I came home with over 2500 photos. 

Oooops!

I was able to get some panoramic shots of the riverfront. The originals are about 15000 x 3000 px :-)

 

Oh, and I have to mention the hotel I stayed in: the Grande Hotel do Porto.

Charming.

And then came the long way home. For the first time in my life, I missed a plane. So I had to spend the night in Amsterdam. And - the next day I missed another plane. So I had to spend the day in Vienna. I visited my aunt and came home with a 22-hour delay.

Oh, well.

2016!

Wow, I can't believe I haven't posted anything in 2016 yet. Well, I have a good excuse. I was working really hard to get everything done before ... leaving on a jet plane :-)

I've only been here a couple of days and have already way over 1k photos! It will take me ages to sort them, but here is a sneak peek.

It finally stopped raining after a couple of days so I could make some decent photos.  Oh, did I say I quite like it here :-)
