This was SOOOOOOOOOOOOO Cool! A couple of my students were audience members for the Portuguese equivalent of American Idol.

AND they brought signs for ME!

Danger







Today was another cold, rainy day but we walked along the sea anyway in the late afternoon. Every now and again we spotted a surfer or two as the day gave way to night . . .

Costa da Caparica



This is above a door of a house in Costa da Caparica:

Somewhere over the rainbow . . .




On Fridays there are "concerts" during lunch in the reception area at my school. Today, as I was walking back to my classroom after lunch I stopped a minute to listen as a music teacher was playing a Wizard of Oz classic . . .

Somewhere, over the rainbow, way up high.
There's a land that I heard of once in a lullaby.
Somewhere, over the rainbow, skies are blue.
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true.

I gotta a feeling . . .


First day back after the holiday break and after seeing this rainbow on the way to work, I just knew that it would be a good day!
