    Breakfasted at Honest Greens. Granola, yogurt, and berries with chai latte with the Godesses (Anu, April, Christine, and me).
    ... although Cynthia has dubbed us the Vegan Power Crew 🤣🤣
    Met up with the Lisbon WOW peeps in the park (Jardim do Príncipe Real) for storytelling and composition.
    Explored the artisans' pop-ups and farmers' markets at the park.
    Got soap, tiles, sketchbooks, early Portuguese readers, illustrated recipe postcards, and chocolate cake.
    Used the recessed (below!!) WC.
    Was so hungry, I stopped and got a pastel de nata.    Læs mere

    Stopped by our spot to drop off purchases before going out to lunch at Pequeno, a neighborhood cafe.
    Was so beat from yesterday's excitement that we chose to rest instead of doing more.
    Napped and got to talk deep and real. ❤️
    Put together my Lisboa Palette ☺️

    Tough choices today, pt 1 of 2

    Anu and I had to make tough choices today:

    Do we go to our Lisbon WOW class? Or meet up with Lisbon Sketchers? We chose to broaden our circle and meet a whole bunch of international urban sketchers (including Portuguese 🤣) at Jardim da Estrela. Lots of existentialism with a side order of smoking for some 🥸 🚬. Wow. What a quintessential European experience for this American.

    Do we walk or Bolt to lunch on the way to the National Azulejos (tiles) museum? Bolt it was, and I had my SECOND full conversation in Português, with José our driver. 🎉🎉🎉 My cold is working its way through all the stages, and I was explaining why I was masking. 😷 He immediately masked up, and we continued on with our lively convo.

    Do I have vegan Himilayan momos for lunch? Or beyond burger? Yup. Such a hometown girl.

    Do we go to the fado dinner? Or rest up at home? It was hard to miss the fado performances, but, really, it seemed smarter to isolate (sorta) and rest. Can't wait to hear the report tomorrow from the WOWsters who went to fado.

    So dinner was a protein ball from Honest.Greens that I had packed for "just in case" today.

    It was NOT a hard choice of how to paint the vibrant afternoon view from our kitchen table. (See the next post for the sketches.) ☺️🧡💛💚💙☺️    Læs mere

    Sketches from the last 2 days

    24. april 2024, Portugal ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C

    I realized that I hadn't posted my last few sketches from the last two days in Lisbon, so here they are.

    1. My "blob" sketch of Castelo de São Jorge from Jardim do Príncipe Real.

    2. Sketches of our CUTE CUTE CUTE guide on our boat tour of Lisboa from the Tejo River - along with the backs of lots of heads of fellow passengers!

    3. Ponte do 25 de Avril. Made by San Fran's Golden Gate folks and named to commemorate the Carnation Revolution that overthrew the dictator Salazar 50 years ago.

    4. The Monument of the Discoveries. Vasco da Gama and others are commemorated here. Their difficult history of colonization and enslavement is not forgotten.

    5. @honestgreens_pt , where the Vegan Power Crew (Anu, Christine, April, and me) enjoyed a number of our meals together    Læs mere
