If you’ve been following the blog recently, you know what the main focus of the day was this past Sunday - the Henri Cartier-Bresson Tête Á Tête Retratos (Portraits) exhibit.  However, since the old customs building is down by the river, we had to get down there and back, which adds to the story.  So why not join us for our Sunday?

Ok, ok, the blog post is probably more appropriately called “Shooting the Shooter - Centro Português de Fotografia Edition,” but the “Prison Edition” sounded better.  Anyway, come join us for a look at what we were photographing when the other was photographing the photographer.

We had the weekend off from our main task (finding a place to live) and the weather was supposed to be beautiful, so Ann and I decided we were going to explore Porto and play tourist so to speak.  So what do a couple of people who hate being around tourists do on a Saturday off in a new city?  Join us and find out!!!

Stop the presses folks!  We interrupt the planned flow of blog posts to announce that the Terrells have found themselves a home!  Our application to rent a brand new, nearly completed townhome has been accepted.  So come on in and take a tour of our new digs that will be waiting for us once we get our D7 visas!

It’s pretty much been a full week since Ann and I spent a good 24 hours traveling from Eugene to San Francisco to Munich to Porto and what a whirl-wind of a trip it’s been so far.  I can’t possibly hope to capture everything so I’ll settle for telling you about the exploration we did the day after we arrived after we checked out the location of the bank (and withdrew funds from our Portuguese bank account on the Portuguese language ATM), purchased Metro tickets, and walked past the offices that will help us find a place to live so we would know where we were going when the time comes.  So join us for our first full day in Porto!

You really didn’t think we could leave Ann’s retirement with just one story did you?  Of course not.  Ann really couldn’t say goodbye without giving something back to Heidi.  And of course since Heidi was on vacation (which is why this posting was delayed), well, Ann just had to leave her presents in the office!
