sitting in lisbon

I left Minneapolis on Friday night at 7 PM aboard a KLM flight bound for Amsterdam. What seemed like only a few hours passed and night quickly became morning again. I always forget why they call these things red-eye flights. I wandered around Amsterdam and found amusing things such as Paprika flavored Pringles potato chips. Mmm. My flight to Lisbon was interesting in that I’m pretty sure they were allowing smoking on the flight. How bizarre is that? Probably not as bizarre as the Portuguese keyboard I’m typing on now. So, anyway, I met up with Katherine at the hotel after a minor bit of being lost. We sized up the city and the next morning her sister Natalie joined us. I have been filming most of our activities in the hope of putting together a couple of podcast episodes. I am more aware of the fact that this stuff needs to be funny for it to be worth your time. I think I have done a little of that here and there. Running around on castles will hopefully fill that humor void.

Check back later and when I have more time there will be more detail. I saw X-MEN 3 and THE DA VINCI CODE so I may be posting my first reviews of films seens overseas. Woo.
