Silverspoon: My husband & I took the prepaid taxi service from the Lisbon Airport to our hotel and our driver was also a tour guide. We booked the taxi at the Visitor's Desk in the airport. Our driver spoke very good English, was dressed in a shirt and tie and was very personable. I would have booked a private tour with him, but we were on a tour to begin with. His price was very reasonable.

As a result of global cooling, 70% of continental Portugal is currently below 32 Farenheit (Lisbon and the Setubal Peninsula are the exceptions).
Weather forecast says that, although unlikely, there is a chance for vestigial snow in Lisbon this evening.

Last Friday was the 40th aniversary of the inaugural Canairelief flight from Sao Tome Island to Biafra.
I found strange, some time ago, the sight of 2 inoperable Super Constellation airplanes just outside the Sao Tome airport, and after somer research I stumbled in a story of heroism as I had rarely heard.
The whole story may be found in

Hard to describe the place... they call themselves a "cultural cooperative". A place where anybody may present his/her/their own show of anykind.
A lot of out-of-mainstream experimentalism. A "smell" of woodstock.
If you like to seat on the floor, between walls painted with psychedelic paintings and you are less than 40, at least in your mind, go there, otherwise stay out.
According to them "we supply light meals everydays, pies, soups and today's specials, fruit juice and herb infusions, all of them made with the best vegetables, colors and smells in the world"

Today are completed 100 years over Carmen Miranda's birth in Marco de Canavezes (northern Portugal) (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carmen_Miranda).
The singer and actress developped most of her career in Brazil and the US.
