A new place to go: 'Embaixada' in Princepe Real

A new place called “Embaixada” recently opened in Princepe Real, in the beautiful Ribeiro da Cunha Palace, a XIX century neo-arabic building. I went inside to have a look around on a rainy day and was really impressed with how wonderful it looks: many shops from new (and old) entrepreneurs, a nice restaurant in the courtyard and especially the building itself which is absolutely stunning. Have a look:

Saying goodbye to Summer

Yesterday was the last day of this year's summer.We said goodbye in style with a yummy ice cream,

and went for a walk, crossing the park and noticing the brightness of the summer-sun-light,

continued through the city streets in search of new things to 'see',

hoped on an electric cable car to avoid a steep hill and enjoyed the ride immensely,

met up with friends for a snack in an old favorite place,

(J took a photo of me taking photos of them).

It was a great Summer, yes it was! Hello Autumn!

Walking with pink lenses

In yesterday's walk, coming back home, this is what my eyes captured: pink everywhere I looked.

     

 

Attention to details

've finished knitting these socks made specially for a good friend (for her to use in maybe two months time when winter arrives) and resumed my occasional walks with J, taking photos of a few unusual places.
