Bem-vindo! Entre!
We moved into our "home sweet home away from home" today. Acquaintances that have become friends over the past years have opened up their home here in Loures Portugal for us to stay in while they are away. We had the privilege to live here for some weeks several years ago and now have returned. It is a beautiful three bedroom, two bath apartment that is very comfortable and cozy. Thank G & T for your generosity!

The entry hall has beautiful Portuguese tiles on the walls, you can enter each room from the entry. The living room/dining room's sliding glass doors open onto a small veranda and holds the drying rack for clothes and linens. The kitchen is tiny according to American kitchens, but very functional and quite adequate. A tiny table is the perfect place for coffee and breakfast in the morning. The washing machine is in under the counter and no dishwasher for the next weeks...

Ahhh, the banos -- the BLUE banos!
Staying in the home of our dear friends O & M is always such a wonderful experience and we can see their apartment from our veranda, so I guess that makes us "neighbors"? We will go back for the last days of our time here in Portugal, but for now, they will have to learn to live without us!?! They won't have to speak fast Portuguese when they don't want us to know what they are talking about, as we are no longer within constant earshot. :) (Yeah, your remember your parents or grandparents speaking another language when they didn't want you to understand what they were saying to each other!!! My grandparents would speak German.) You're the best O & M!
What a beautiful day it has turned out to be. This morning the sky was filled with clouds and as the sun rose over the hills, the rays slowly filled the valley, it almost looked as if it would rain. Now the sky has became blue and the breeze blowing through the apartment is quite comfortable. We are grateful for this place and look forward to living in Loures for these few weeks. Tonight the adventure of going to the grocery store...
