it doesn't matter where you are, once a day you need to step back and enjoy what surrounds you.
here, just feels better.

2012_07_15 - Jogi

this sunday, my good friend Jogi, the sushi men from Vale da Telha, called me for a lunch at his place.

beeing always a wonderful experience, I immediately said yes. only then, shamefully realeasing upon my arrival that it was his birthday!
Isabel and him made a wondeful typical japanese dish, with deserts and plenty of wine.
a gathering of 7 travel lovers from 5 different countries and, with ages between 30 and 70 years old.
amazing open minded people meeting in the end of this continent.
happy birthday Jogi.

2012_07 - what to think?

after much persuasion, my sis finally got a camera. not what I had in mind, her's has unlimited functions that give her the same result has I get with lots of time, hard thinking and a big dose of creativity.
she's learning camera history thru a vintage photography app. how to use filters with another app and a close result to true film photography with a different app.
apps for everything!
in the end, she's finally taking pictures, keeping stored her daily stories!

my brother was in town for a short little visit, and what a visit it was!
waterpark, coffees , barbecues, beers, surf, outstanding meals provided by our sister, motorcycle rides and a lot more! but true to the portuguese reputation, we mainly ate and drank!
without a doubt an amazing quality family time.

mighty Tom preparing for one of his daily routines. showing his son, the tuffest kid I know, how balance is achieved for an outstanding way of life.

2012_07_04 - no waves, lots of beers

one of our (portuguese) surf stars came back to chill out in this little and special place.
leaving his longboards behind and the titles of national and european longboard champion, João "Furas" Veríssimo made a really awesome show for a small audience in his tiny thruster. a shame the swell didn't help out, but the good weather, amazing views and some beers improved a lot this holiday escape.
