Dear Brazilnut. I sent you a mail a few minutes ago. We will be at the door of Caldo Verde at 10:30. I hope Matt is able to join us. Our plans include sharing a Caldo Verde soup, a Chouriço Assado with bread and a Jar of Sangria. If you want something more substantial, they have other offers like Febras Grelhadas or Bitoque. If you want to have diner in advance in Cantinho do Bem Estar or outher place, please do. Até já...

Hello All-
My husband and I soon hope to join the LDC. I've been salivating over some of the dining experiences described in this thread. We will be visiting Lisbon for the first time November 8-14. If others will be there during that time, perhaps we can get a larger group together. We are from Chicago and as I understand it may be the first diners from the Windy City to joing the LDC, we are up for all foods and are very excited to try the local cuisine.
Matt-Thanks for your reply, I look forward to meeting you all.

note 1: In my last post I was referring the fact that we will have 2 teachers of English language and literature here in Lisbon, but in fact I'm lost since I just lost the track about who's who
note 2: Our friends from Switzerland are English speakers, so any other Fodorites are more than welcome to join us.

Okay, so having recovered from the celebrations following Tuesday's result I'm looking through the list:
Lobo, there is no way we can do 10.30pm Saturday night - toooo late and no baby sitters. Can we not do something earlier that night?
Later next week with Nardah should be okay pending final instructions...
Again October 9th yes, but not so late, I am preferring an earlier time due to the girls...
So for now I await further details,
Matt

Oh and we never said what a wonderful night it was with David and Susan at Adega das Gravatas - unfortunately I forgot the camera but David has all the photos and when he sends them across the report will be up.

You know... wolves are night predators...
For Saturday we have to check with Brazilnut. Do you think 7pm is a good tentative schedule?
For the cheese and wine, a nice plan would be start the party sooner with you, Lizzy, children and our foreigner guests, and we will arrive whenever is possible for us.

Lobo, I am delighted to see that we are on the LDC schedule; I didn't know if you had received my e-mail. I will put the Oct. 20 on my itinerary and await further details! Keeping track of all of these engagements must be turning into a full time job for you - but we all REALLY appreciate it!

Matt,
Earlier should be fine for us foreigners. It would be great to have your girls there. What time were you thinking?
Those with stamina can do Caldo Verde with Lobo and Loba! (I'm in, for sure!)

I did get your email today! We arrive in Lisbon Mon. Oct 2 at 10:40 am. Great idea to meet up later that day and then we can see what is best for your schedule and Matt's for dining. We would love to meet everyone. With this forum it feels like we already know you! I have your phone number and will call when we arrive.

Hi Lobo:
Adega das Gravatas is perfect! Thank you! Just let me know when we should meet. We'll be staying at Hotel Mundial.
Singing:
Well, the only time my group has got into singing was in a Dublin pub. After a few beers, they started jodeling and singing some wonderful Swiss songs. It was real nice. If they feel real comfortable, I'm sure they'll do it again.
Restaurant with entertainment:
I'd like to go with them to a restaurant with some live entertainment on Friday or Sunday night. Preferably with Fado. Do you think I should try to book PÁTIO DA MEMÓRIA or do you have any other suggestions?
I've found a company called "Walking around Lisbon" that offers tours in German. I think we'll use them for the old town/castle area and Belem. However, if you know of any other private German guides, please feel free to suggest one. (Not all my students are fluent in English and having an English tour would be a waste of money for some.)
Thank you so much for reserving the restaurant and for any other advice. It's nice to know I have a friend in Lisbon.
Tschüss!

mjanensch-
Judi is now in Lisbon, and may not get your email. She and Paul are coming to our apartment on Oct 9, around 8PM. Feel free to arrive then. Lobo and Loba will arrive ~9-9:30. We're not sure if Matt and his wife are coming, but hope so. After wine,cheese,etc, we will go to Caldo Verde for light dinner and fado. If you need the address, email Lobo Mau at [email protected]. He also has my cell phone number. Could you bring a bottle of wine and a small hors d'oeuvre of some sort?
Look forward to meeting you and Philip.
