I am writing from the “Hotel Avenida Palace” in Lisbon. We flew in this morning through some of the most amazing storm clouds I have ever seen. Very pretty and I just found out reading the news that they were clouds bands of hurricane Vince!
Ever feel cursed? Our trip to Portugal was canceled on Saturday due to storms in the northeast over Newark (that cause major flooding in New England). And now the storms have followed us.
One nice stroke of luck, we took a bus to our hotel and walked a few blocks. Just as we got settled in the clouds opened up an dumped major amounts of rain. Fortunately we were tucked nicely in our hotel room by then.
