this was a half week, work-wise. we have friends and dani staying over for some time, and as they had a few days off from their work, we took some time off as well to accompany them to the beach, make crafts and jigsaw puzzles. it felt really good to just take it easy and catch up. some other highlights:

– paulo took the second dose of his vaccine, with barely any side-effects at all. hurray! mine is coming tomorrow, and i can’t wait.

– to celebrate his full vaccination, we ate a bola de berlim. :)

– we met not one, but 2 chameleons in manta rota!

– unexpectedly, we were gifted a second-hand camera with super zoom, which is perfect for bird-watching! here are some little terns, black-tailed godwits and flamingos we saw this week in olhão. the image is really clear even at maximum zoom, and you can even read the code on the ringed flamingo we found!
