Lisbon

When my friend Brenda told me she was going to back to Lisbon, taking her dog, staying for a couple of months, and then invited me to visit, it seemed stupid not to say "ok!" 

From Brenda's friend David's terrace: 

Amago restaurant: the best, most innovative, most exciting meal I've ever had. 

I wish I had taken notes on the menu. There was 1 seating, 1 table, 10 guests, 2 chefs (Marta and Andre... no sous chefs, no assistants, no servers), and about 12 courses, each one as crazy-delicious as the next.

Cambridge

I wanted to get to Cambridge with Greg when we were in London in February, but since we ran out of time and energy, I decided to come back to the UK and take the walk through Grantchester Meadows (another location 'as seen on TV') that I wasn't able to do last time. That was the highlight in Cambridge, but the university buildings and general vibe of the town were cool too. 

Possibly the tree where an apple fell on Isaac Newton's head...
probably never happened but it is an apple tree and he did reside in the building behind it. 

Kind of like going to school at Hogwarts.

And then Ryan Air for the first time ever (no brawling broke out) to Lisbon!
