(Veruschka reporting) Alright. Let’s see how to frame this day. It all started the night before, after we arrived from a long trip to Nazareh and Obidos.
The hotel turned out to be fantatic! The staff was so friendly and welcoming. We couldn’t be happier. To me, the night was over. I was simply exhausted. To Cliff however, the night was just starting. Jose talked about an “amateur FADO bar” right across from our new hotel, and Cliff was too tempted to not go that night. Without me.
I learned the next day (3/14/06) that he did have a fantastic time. He got to listen to numerous fado singers, he had 5 delicious beers, and he was also very well taken care of by his bartender, who not only gave him a few beers for free, but asked Cliff to join him for a few crazy shots. By the end of the night Cliff had had 8 beers and 4 flaming shots.
The next day the expected thing happened. We have another beautiful day in Cascais, but Cliff is terribly sick.
It was a good time for me to catch up on some email, and work on the pictures we had accumulated from the last week.
Regrettably, we also had to cancel our good-bye dinner with Jose, Ernesto and Mira. We were really saddened to have to cancel, but with Cliff’s condition, it just would not have been enjoyable for anyone!
The day ended actually nicely. By 5pm Cliff was finally able to get out of bed. After a nice shower we both headed to town, and consumed a delicious pizza and dessert.
