I have had this song stuck in my head for days now. And I know I already posted the video, but damn, it deserves a repeat. (Have I mentioned that I would totally be Andy Samberg’s Jim Cavezial?)
Thanks for all your Portugal tips. I am reading them and they’re much appreciated, so additional suggestions are of course welcome. I’m up in Bairro Alto tonight and plan on having some delicious seafood for dinner, and I think tomorrow we’re going to Sintra. Saturday it’s back in Lisbon, and we’ll see Belem and the castle and the monastery and whatnot. I fly back to Hamburg on Sunday, and I’ll post pictures ASAP.
Random international travel story: My flight from Hamburg to Lisbon aired a show featuring my freshman year of college sociology professor Dalton Conley (who is quite amazing). It was a real Tom Friedman moment (“On a plane from Germany to Hamburg, watching British television featuring an American professor… the world really is flat!”).
