portuguese water dog
While Barack Obama keeps on looking for his Portuguese Water Dog, Saturday I found one surfing on São Pedro’s beach. His name was Vasco. He completely stole the show. King of the beach. I believe he managed to surf all the waves that went through that peak. Big, small, medium, rare… And there he goes…

lunch
While the waves keep on moving to Algarve, and we, in Lisbon, must keep on working… there’s nothing better than a nice lunch by the river, with a magnificent sun and no waves on the horizon to tempt us. This was definitely one of the best lunches I’ve had this year. In Parque das Nações…

video
Last week, I went to Gulbenkian to watch the Darwin exhibit. It was pretty crowded, so I gave up and just rambled around a little bit. Luckily I bumped into a video projection with the Darwin Originals project and I must say I was pretty impressed with this one: What if? from Lemn Sissay, talking…

summer time
It was a summer day, in all aspects. It was hot, sunny and almost flat. The exception was the water temperature… cold, cold, cold. Nevertheless, it was a great surfing morning, full of sun and enough waves to have fun. And once again, the break was ours. No one else on the water. In the…

Another great morning to surf, in sunny São Pedro. Today’s hero was Luca, an ex-bodyboarder, that kept on appearing on every wave and on every picture, with his unique style.

new hosting
I’ve just moved the blog from the worst hosting service I’ve ever tried, to mediatemple (probably the most hyped hosting service in the world!), so if you find something is wrong… please tell. I hope this thing gets considerably faster.

bicicleta
Lisbon it’s not the perfect city to ride a bike, but there are several circuits you can do with no major problems. So, today I decided to do ride my bike to work, and made a quite peaceful ride, along the rio Tejo (tagus river). A few stops along the way to take some pictures,…

elysian fields
Last saturday we went to see Elysian Fields, live at Centro Cultural Olga Cadaval, Sintra. I’m not a big fan of this venue, but the concert was memorable. Her voice, their style, his talent, the piano, the red wine… Was simply too much. I’m not really sure, but the best moment might have been when…

beautiful day at são pedro
Great morning in São Pedro. Definitely the best this year. Sun & small waves. We were the first to arrive there, so, for an hour, the beach was ours! Afterwards it started to get a little bit crowded, but we already had a smile on our faces. It was a great weekend.

SUNNY DAY AT CAPARICA
Finally, sunny days, with nice waves are back! We went back to Caparica, and although we weren’t it the right spot, we’ve managed to get some fun. Later on, we’ve seen some pretty good surf in nearby beaches. In this picture, you can see Miguel, a surfer from Ericeira, getting some action.

SALSICHA DO MANTORRAS
Well, it’s Mantorras again. I really admire him, but… A few years ago, Mantorras had a sponsorship thing with a sausages company called Izidoro. The slogan: “O sabor que eu adoro”, meaning “The taste I adore”. I can’t thing of anything more stu…strange. Great marketing!
