I can’t believe it. My parents are in Lisbon! Didn’t even ask me if I wanted to go! Don’t they want to spend time with me and their 6.5 month old grandson?!?!?

This city is definitely on my bucket list… hopefully in the near future.

my trip to Italy. I really need a vacation even if it’ll be 100 deg F outside! (Hey, I’m Indian, I can handle the heat!)

Can’t wait to sit outside with nothing to do but watch the blue hour with the lights shining over the piazzas…

eat plenty of pasta…

sit myself at the terrace and enjoy the beautiful surroundings…

and last but not least, people watch!
