yesterday the brother of a friend showed us some more paris.

he's been living here for 8 years and guided us to the most beautiful places.

i think i'll have to visit some of them  many times with a camera once the rain stops :)

passage des panoramas has got to be my favorite find of yesterday.

i'm looking forward to walk through each and every stunning passage in paris.

thank you all so much for the supporting comments.

i'm glad to say benny is adjusting (even if slowly) to his new home. 

i'll be leaving in a few hours and i'm feeling hopeful :)

*i'm moving to paris*

i got accepted to an internship in paris, and luckily so did tó.

we'll move to paris this monday.

this should be a nothing-but-wonderful time, but unfortunately it's not.

i'm excited to move, to live in paris and to work. but because we'll most likely apply to a residence, benny (the cat) won't be moving with us.

i've already cried a lot about this decision and i'll probably cry a lot more tomorrow, when i leave him at my dad's.

this is definately a stressful time, specially since we still don't have a definate place to live.

but hopefully once we get there we'll be just fine...

a few screen captures from a few old film movies by a. s. tavares.

i'm so glad i found these. and i still have some more to see...

i couldn't help but watch them and recall my very own family photos :)

click here to see the videos :)

i've had a lot on my mind lately.

sometimes i wish i had a cat's life. and nothing to worry about.

or even a pigeon's life.

serra da freita

last friday we were supposed to revisit drave. but that area was under big fires, and we went to 'serra da freita' instead.

it was a wonderful bright day and the view simply stunning. it changed from a little creek in between giant rocks, to lovely vegetation with cattle, to a big waterfall.
we walked and climbed, throught roads, rocks and dirt, untill our legs hurt.
it's always a good time when you do road trips with friends that involve seeing and appreciating nature :)
