Oh cool! I thought the LDC had gone into hibernation? Any chance this will be between Oct 30 and Dec 5??

lobo_mau Oct 24th, 2008 08:16 AM

No chestnut vendors in Rua Augusta yet, at least I haven't seem them so far.

Matt, I'm always ok for dinner (I do that on a daily basis). Bring your women with you. I'll take mine.

Thursday (I haven't read this name since my Robinson Crusoe's reading days), last week of November sound good. Do you stay in Lisbon for more than one month??? Please reveal a little your plans.

This weekend in Lisbon, there will be a Formula 1 Renault exhibition in Avenida da Liberdade, between Restauradores and Marques de Pombal. 100,000 ppl are expected to attend. Note: this is not a race, just a show off.

It seems I have to read the book again. Thursday is Friday... sorry Friday for this mistake (I knew ir was a week day, anyway).

Oh good, it isn't my memory that is fading.

thursdaysd Oct 24th, 2008 11:03 AM

Sorry - I made a mistake too - that should have read Oct 30 to NOV 5th - I fly to Morocco on the 6th. I have six full days in Lisbon - my first real visit since 1970!! (I don't count the afternoon in '04 when I was just between trains and leaving Portugal ahead of the soccer fans.)

Any possibilities for those dates?

Matt_from_England Oct 24th, 2008 02:01 PM

Lobo - it has been a long time: you have women? Does Mrs Wolf know about this development? How many places will you harem require?

Barb65 Oct 24th, 2008 03:40 PM

So glad the LDC may begin again. Think of you often and check in here once in awhile.

We certainly hope to return before too long. Welcome back Matt!

Will look forward to the dinner report. Enjoy!

LOL

How are the plans coming for a return to NY?

Matt_from_England Oct 25th, 2008 12:45 AM

NYC is a definite maybe...

Nikki Oct 25th, 2008 03:49 AM

Oh, should I start getting excited? (You can leave your hat on.)

lobo_mau Oct 25th, 2008 02:26 PM

Matt
I'm reading my post again and again and I don't understand from where did you extract the idea that I need more than one place to sit my harem :-)

Sher Oct 25th, 2008 07:22 PM

Maybe a LDC in NYC could occur a second time????

Matt_from_England Oct 26th, 2008 01:01 AM

<i>Bring your women with you. I'll take mine</i>

&quot;I'll bring mine&quot;, after telling me to bring my women (plural) infers that you too have more than one, or perhaps your sons are now cross dressers? ;-)

Matt_from_England Oct 26th, 2008 01:03 AM

But not a problem, it shall be a special night anyway, and cause for a little celebration...

lobo_mau Oct 26th, 2008 05:20 AM

Thursday, I am very sorry, but I don't think a formal LDC is possible for that period :-(
Regarding another NYDC, I think I am off for the near future.
Matt from England, I'm not aware of English language subtleties, but your explanatation made perfect sense.
When are we joining for dinner? I'd prefer last week of November. I leave the field work (choosing the place) for you. Either in the North Bank of Tagus river or in the Desert (private joke) :-)

Sher Oct 26th, 2008 05:27 AM

Oh Well. One can only hope.

lobo_mau Oct 26th, 2008 05:34 AM

Hi Mr Matt W

This is Mrs Wolf speaking. I'm glad to hear from you, you came out of your Summer hibernation (the opposite to the bears :) )
Welcome! The old Matt in great form!
As for the dinner, let's go for it.
We are looking for this &quot;little celebration&quot;, which I guess it might be one more woman for you :))

Hugs and kisses to you all (women included)

lobo_mau Oct 26th, 2008 05:45 AM

correction: We are looking forward to

Mrs W

Bookmarking-we are adding Portugal and Spain to our ever-growing travel wish list.
