Luso-Canuck: December 2008
http://jeffdasilva.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Ramblings and observations of a Portuguese-Canadian become Canadian-Portuguese. Wednesday, 24 December 2008. Finally, we went to Spain. After living next door to Spain for the past year, it had become ridiculous that we had yet crossed the border to visit our big brother. Along with our friends and God-child, who are visiting from Canada, we headed to Barcelona for 5 days. In 5 days, we managed to cover most of the city. I fell in love with this city for many reasons. Monday, 8 December 2008. My previous...

This was apparently all the information he needed to figure out the problem. He answers (note that this phone conversation was all in Portuguese, a language I am yet to master) “Eu encolhi a tua chave”…. I reply, “Sorry Pedro, you will have to explain in English”…. 8220;I shrunk your key” he replies…. Confused, I say, “Sorry?

Ramblings and observations of a Portuguese-Canadian become Canadian-Portuguese. Friday, 27 March 2009. The Lisbon Half Marathon. finally. You may remember that I trained for the Lisbon Half Marathon last year, but was not able to participate because they ran out of registrations (see Lisbon Half Marathon post-mortem. The race itself proved to be quite an experience. This event, which included a "mini" race of 7km, had 35000 participants! A view of the bridge completely full of runners. 8216;Don’t s...

Ramblings and observations of a Portuguese-Canadian become Canadian-Portuguese. Wednesday, 24 June 2009. A perfect honeymoon and a disappointing layover… Santorini and Athens Greece.

Ramblings and observations of a Portuguese-Canadian become Canadian-Portuguese. Friday, 3 July 2009. Apparently I'm verbose. another Twitter casualty. Fire, sliced bread, Facebook. Twitter? Action creates clarity, so I figured I'll sign up and give it a whirl. So, I tweeted. now what? A couple of my colleagues asked to "follow" me. Cool. Now what? How can I say something interesting in 140 characters? With 2 followers, it is clear I can't. Goodbye Twitter. Best of luck, and maybe we'll meet again. Appare...

Ramblings and observations of a Portuguese-Canadian become Canadian-Portuguese. Friday, 6 November 2009. Exploring Portugal Series #3 - Cascais (a.k.a. home). Portugal is, in my (slightly biased) opinion, one of the most beautiful nations in the world. The perfect combination of natural beauty, long history, rich culture, unique cuisine and kind people, Portugal is a destination no traveller should pass over. Cascais is the suburb of Lisbon that we call home. I fell in love with this old fishing town...
