a lovely day and a broken zenit

yesterday was an eventful day.
after running some errands early in the morning, we wen't to palácio de cristal and its library.
it's my favourtie library to be in. it has the perfect atmosphere, even though it lacks in architecture books. and you get to be surrounded by lovely gardens and animals.
we found the most perfect book for an architect turist in lisbon. and i'm guessing we'll be needing it some time soon!
i saw a lot of peacocks, males and females. their feather weren't as magestic as they ar ein the summer, but they're beautiful to look at none the less.

and to top it all off, i slipped in wet pavement, flown in the air and fell, and broke his zenit along with it... now it doesn't fire at all :(
let's hope the last one doesn't happen again today!
