definitely different

Yesterday me, Jonatan, my roommates; Anna, Sonia and her friend Paula followed the sunshine and went on a diverting road-trip alongside the lovely costs of Lisbon. While driving we took many stops at the beaches of Carcavelos, Guincho and Cascais, and of course took some cool pictures there. Afterwards we went to check out the casino do Estoril, did some quick gambles there, but really nothing worthy of mentioning happened. I still can't believe it's the end of december, instead of a white christmas i'm getting a colorful sun all wrapped up in a bright blue Portuguese sky, it's definitely different but it's great, no doubt about that.

fellow photography-minded fool

Last wednesday my belgian friend jonatan arrived here in lisbon, to spend a week of vacation. Besides a good friend he basically is a fellow photography-minded fool, so it felt like a great excuse to leave my massive pile of schoolwork behind for a while, and go out on a present and picture-hunt while showing him some parts of the city (and the nightlife). We didn't find that many presents, but did take some cool pictures. Here are a few of my results, but there are more to come shortly.
