Lisboa!!

I'm in Lisboa! It's raining and I'm tired and busy (everyone is) - but I'm in Lisboa!!!! :D
A&S&R picked me up from the airport and it almost made me cry to see them all standing there and waving. I don't think I've been picked up by that many people from an airport since the first time I came home from Lisbon for Christmas 1998 when my whole family turned up.
Everything is just as ever, only Su's hair is shorter - and looks great! ;) Ana has a great big flat, I'm really impressed, especially compared to other people's houses I've seen in Lisbon. Well, I guess that makes her a bit more grown-up... but really I'm only jealous. It's crazy to think that it's already almost a year ago since we all met!
Now I'm going to crawl into Ana's bed and tomorrow I'll see how much I remember of my favourite city.

Songs of death

Today is 'Yom Hazikaron' (day of remembrance) - The day of commemoration for soldiers who died in Israeli wars in the last 60 years. I am sitting at home listening the radio playing mourning songs and watching movies on young men and women who died prematurely.

Tonight Yom Hazikaron will end and our independence day will begin.
