After Christmas Lunch With Friends

After flying back to mainland on yesterday night, we spent some time with my mom and then drove to Cascais to meet with Joana and Paulo who we hadn’t yet seen. Well, we only arrived here a few days ago and have been going everywhere. I still hadn't seen the amazing reconstruction work that Joana leaded for months. We had time to spend the night with them and therefore wake up at the house where the Friends After-Christmas lunch was supposed to be. We woke up late, very late.
It was great to be able to get together with my dear friends who have been through so much of my life and who now I see so little. It was a very good day with long hours talking about alls and nothings.

Joana, the hostess. The great creative mind, amazing cook :o)

The host Paulo & Rodrigo baby

Beautiful Su

The amazing duo: Rita & Ricardo

The sweet new family of three: Rita & Tato

One of them is Santa ... Paulo clearly loves kids. Here with Rodrigo, Rita and Tato's baby.

After the Ritas and families left, the five of us stayed longer, talking about life and stuff. It was another good and cozy moment by the fireplace (Paulo, Jo, André, Su & Rita)
