Dairy entry, 20 September

Expo 98

Expo fountainToday we finally got our metro & bus pass. That took a while. We’ve been trying to get one for 3 days, but it seems we always arrive a few minutes after closing time.

In the afternoon Alec and I joined Anne, Andy & Monika from our apartment at the expo 98 part of Lisbon. It’s a modern, high-rise building area with some nice architecture. Lovely fountains there as you can see. Although I like the modern buildings and the Vasco da Gama bridge, I prefer the cozy and older houses of the Bairro Alto area.

( someone will be happy I took this picture :) )

Vanilla Sky

Vanilla skyWhen we got back, the light of the sunset through the clouds gave everything a gorgeous colour. Somewhat of a vanilla sky as you can see in this picture.

Lightning storm

Palmtree lightningBack at our apartment we ate a decent telepizza we picked up on the way home. While we were chatting it started to rain, and a few minutes later we could hear thunderstorms. This was the first time I tried to take pictures of lightning so they are far from perfect. Here are a few others i took this evening

    Ik ben ontzettend ‘happy’ :). Leuke surprise na een dagje hard werken, ‘k heb op de meir gestaan voor maybelline (wel toffe actie). Zo te zien & te lezen valt lisboa reuze mee, de kamer ziet er ook wel ok uit (je moet ook niet teveel verwachten hé, je bent nu officieel een kotstudent :p) Anyway, vanaf volgende week starten ook hier de lessen terug (en ik moet nog beslissen wat ik nu ga studeren! aaaah) en dan zal ik wel wat meer online zijn dus dan spreken we elkaar wel nog eens. Liefs uit het zonnige Gent (toch voor even)
