Dias de folga

We took our first days off right after the carnaval and decided to make few trips around the region:

Lisboa

Óbidos

Alcobaça

Batalha

...and the sunset in Nazaré

A luz especial de Portugal.

Sunset in Nazaré.

The light has finally returned to Portugal after several days of clouds.

Light from the staneid glass in Gothic Cathedral of Batalha.

Matrafona e outros mascarados

We did out best to adapt to the carnaval madness!

UM CARNAVAL INTENSO

Me , as a spanish, I'm so used to live carnival in the streets and schools but nothing in comparative with this.

Here they live the carnival very hard all the people, from small to seniors.

All the streets are closed and is unavoidable to breathe and to feel the music and the carnival atmosphere which makes you only want to dance and smile.

O mar é lindo!

Our first trip to the ocean - as a Czech missing the sea in his own country, I really appreciate the atmosphere...

Onde está o sol ?

Quinta-Feira, 5 Fevereiro - Desculpe, eu acho que nós trouxemos o vento frio

Em telhados leves

Domingo, 8 de Fevereiro - primeiro excursão de Lisboa

À Espera de Matrafona

Torres Vedras is a place

To live life at slower pace.

But eating pasteis in the shade of a palm

I'm slightly afraid of the mad carnival.

Frogs, matrafonas, a vampire in coffin

And I thought it’s crazy that children drink coffee.

Work's first day

Our first day was so exciting.

First we went to see the spaces which Transforma have in its position and where we were doing introduction exercises with all our new colleauges from the association. We enjoyed a lot meeting them and playing games.

Later we saw a little the town helping the association putting poster about the next concert. And we took the opportunity to walk through the village and to meet people.

Jantar intercultural

Our first wonderful week in Torres Vedras was crowned by the jantar intercultural on Friday night. We were putting together playlists of songs from our countries all the morning, inventing some games all the afternoon and especially working hard in the kitchen for few hours in the evening:

Natalia and her pierogy in process

Chaos in the kitchen

We miraculously succeeded to cook everything in time without ruining anything and in the end we had great time!

Only the consequences of our cooking were tough...
