We will be in Estremoz Oct 17th until Oct 21st when we are planning to move to Vila Nova de Milfontes.
BUT we have not made reservations in Vila Nova although we have a place in mind. We wanted a little flexibility for the Alentejo in the event we wanted to stay longer.
So we would be there in any case on Friday the 20th of October, and could actually stay the next night of Oct 21st which is a Saturday. If our rental is not available for Friday night, I am sure we can find something. In fact, we have a apartment outside of Estremoz, so we can host a pre dinner drink. The owner is setting us up with a winery in the area and I am looking forward to buying and tasting some of the local wine.
And the 27th of October is perfect in Lisbon.

Engines are already warming up for the 21st Sep LDC. Today we will have a mini LDC just for ice breaking before the full LDC next Thursday.
Brazilnut, are you out there??? I'd like to receive some news from you!!! please email me. I was doing some field work with Loba last Sunday we went to Cantinho do Bem Estar. Boy!!! the place is so tiny!!! I think 6 of us can't seat there at the same time
May be we have to seat in shifts But anyway it will be great

I see that there is nothing in the works for Oct. 18, 20, 21, or 22. I'll keep checking this thread in case at least a mini LDC, if not a full-fledged fado and/or dining experience is planned. I know I've arrived a bit late on the scene, but you guys are having such fun...

Hi Sherry,
You asked on another thread if I am off to Portugal soon.......Yes! We will arrive on October 3 and will stay eight nights before going on to Nerja. We are so ready for the departure day to arrive! I am sorry that we will be gone when you get there.
The wine and cheese party at Leslie's apartment on October 9 sounds fun.

Brazilnut, 30th is perfect. I suggest you a post diner meeting (10:30 pm?). We could go to "Caldo Verde", which is 50 steps from "Cantinho do Bem Estar" and drinking some sangria while listen to some Fados. We (lobo and loba) were there last Saturday and the place is very funny.
Matt, are you out there? Are you joining us? Please do!!!
Brazilnut, send me a mail, since I don't want to post my telephone number here.

Hello Lisbon Dining Experts,
I've been following your dining adventures with interest and envy.
I'm putting together a school trip for my adult English students. They are from the German part of Switzerland, ages 25 - 70. We would be about 15 people and are flying to Lisbon from Zürich for a four-day extended weekend.
Now, my question. Would you mind if we joined your lively group for
1) a wonderful dining experience
2) a great cultural exchange of ideas and experiences?
Some of my students speak English fluently and would love to have the opportunity to meet you. We've been doing these trips on a yearly basis and know each other well.
As for me, I'm a female Swiss/American who's been in Switzerland for over 20 years. Your dining experiences sound like major fun and I'd love to take part if I may.
We will be in Lisbon from March 16-17, 2007. (That's Friday - Monday.)
We would be delighted if we could arrange something.
Thanks!

30th - that's Saturday is it not? I'll check with the Boss but for now I'll tentatively confirm.
Schedule's starting to look good, but everyone must be aware that Matt_from_England will be in England from 11th-22nd of November and thus Lobo and Loba will be in charge of all things Cullinary during these times.

Narda, I've been trying to contact you, but there is some problem with the mail delivery. Stay tuned. I loved the picture.
