The day is special.
One day history will remember the date, 28th of May 2012 as very special as I made my little steps to Portugal ;)
It was these days when I was in Europe, after France and Switzerland and was heading to Portugal. I still remember that I could not manage to get a window seat. I was at the isle and two very chic German girls heading for Lisboa from Palma de Mallorca were next to the window. Before landing the two girls were all Wow.. Its so beautiful, its Amazing. Eventhough I was very sigh, I took a peek.
Damn Lisboa seemed so beautiful from that window. It was love at first sight. In about couple of seconds I saw the city in Orange and white. Did notice a building with a big dome, not sure if it was Basilica de Estrela or the Panteão Nacional. It was like what I always thought of a Roman time and I was full of dreams and ideas bigger than the Roman Empire.
Ambitions aside its time for some Nostalgia !!
Even after one year, everything is like an unforgotable film in my head. Maybe time is fatal but memories are immortal. I had my best days of Europe in Portugal. It was running around all the time like you have a limited pass to Paradise and you want to squeeze it out all. A life to live in 19 days.
So many stories in my mind. The places I visited, the warmth I received at every door, the hugs and smiles from the strangers, I have to give it to the Portuguese who made it special for me.
19 days after I did not want to leave, but for the obligation of the modern world and the stamp on my passport, I had to.
On my flight to Turkey I was thinking of the Portuguese girl I met in Bali. She asked me what are you going to do 19 days in Portugal, go to the islands Madeira or Azores. Well I could not make it to the islands but I lived one life very different.
Its been 1 year, I love you Portugal as much as that the rooster is my next love after the Cow.
