AMAZING GRACE

well, itºs amazing at any rate.  iºm in lisbon -very hungry - waiting for breakfast to be ready, and i´m delighted that i can actually get into the blog.  hallelujah.
got here last night late, and took a taxi - first time - and the guy ripped me off too - but i was too tired to worry.  very noisy place, this, and i´m going to leave the city for Porto later, but the morning looks promising.  sunny day.
so, again, sorry for the non-reports earlier, and i will be publishing all the drivel i wrote once i get somewhere for a bit, but for now - bom dia - and we talk later
ciao

FINALMENTE

finally got into my blog - because i'm at cathy's? - but can only take a minute, so......

i will be posting all the fascinating details of my voyage since a week ago yesterday, that it will be just as if i'm sending the messages and updates via good old regular mail, which is to say, it will take approximately two weeks to arrive for you all - any readers who have not given up on me. in other words, after i get home.

p.s. lots of good photos, but you'll have to wait for that too.
