Back to the city of pigeons

Yesterday I left the beautiful land of the Azores...
...land of green pastures, cows, beauty...
... but most importantly family, loved ones, a little dog...
,,, and arrived at the grand city of Lisbon...
...hot, dry, full of graffiti and skyscrapers...
...and dirty, flea-ridden pigeons that stare at you when you take a sandwich out of your purse while sitting on a park bench...
... and call all their dirty, flea-ridden pigeon friends who will not fly away when shooed...
... ah, Lisbon. Land of running around like a chicken with its head cut off, trying to get the million things on my to-do list done but instead wasting time posting ridiculous pictures of pigeons on my blog...
... land of surprises, starbucks coffee, and the most amazing people that pop into your life and somehow think you're amazing too. Friendship is a most unmerited, unexpected gift and it's so nice to come back to it.
