So L.A.

My head is about to explode from the minute organization a wedding involves and we have put off until now... plus all the drastic life changes it involves.

 

 

Meanwhile...breathe in, breathe out... I have been able to spend lots of time with my sister (well... I am living with her I guess) and drink some Starbucks. This day I barely had lunch, but then had Starbucks and a cookie. "I'm so L.A.", I told her.

 

Here is a foot picture my sister's fiancé enjoys taking...

Ribbons of fun

My sister got a bike for her birthday! Her cat, Koshka, got a ribbon. 

First meal

Moving into and furnishing a new house is a lot more work than I was expecting. Our first meal in our new house was très romantic. We ate sushi (from next door) on the floor. The next day we moved some chairs.

 

Carioca

There's this simple lemon tea you can get in Portugal if you don't feel like coffee or actual tea, called lemon "carioca". Did you know the less white you have on the lemon peel the less bitter it is? A really interesting friend told me this tidbit.

When I used to walk...

This weekend, back before my ankle was sprained :(, I went on a day-long hike with 30 other Lisbon youth group leaders. At least I used to have a youth group... I'm not really sure what happened there.

 

Portugal might have lots of bad things, but at least every inch of it seems to be beautiful and green and on the coast.
