earlier this month in london, when staying at my friend’s place, we had a cup of pukka tea every night before going to bed. they are delicious organic herbal teas, and there is one to match every mood. i fell in love with the packaging and tea was perfect to put me asleep with my jet lag.
i bought a lemon green for myself and my mum is loving the morning time i got her for christmas.
james left lisbon today, he is now on his way home in turks and caicos. we had a great week with my family, doing everything we missed and eating all our favourite dishes – cod fish, sea bass, barnacles, oysters and crab amongst others. portugal’s diving sites are not as beautiful and the temperature not as pleasant, but the fish we eat sure is good!
i am staying for a few more days before heading back to provo. in the meantime i leave you with this video of a shark (my favourite, you know!) from when james went diving just before leaving for vacations. he’ll be back next week!

happy holidays everyone! how will you be spending your christmas? i can’t believe it’s this time of the year again. for the first time i feel relaxed, as i have already wrapped most of the gifts…and i’m ready to enjoy family quality time!
our christmas marathon starts tonight – mass and family dinner, traditionally we eat codfish and i love it! tomorrow we’ll have pancakes for breakfast and gift exchange at home, followed by a brunch with the entire extended family at my grandmother’s, including my 20 cousins (i’m number 1!).
hope you have a great weekend and see you next week!
ps – i took this picture today, in lisbon we always have sunny weather for christmas.
rita, my so called crazy cousin, is my great buddy and one of my favourite traveling companions – our little trip to london was no exception. we had a blast and she is sharing a little about it today! rita was one of my first friends blogging, if you want to give it a chance at portuguese check out o que e que tou aqui a fazer and read about her adventures in india, chile, bolivia, and a lot more.
why do i love coming back to london…
this brilliant christmas video cracks me up…love seeing all turks and caicos islanders dancing along!
