Arrived Lisboa, Portugal October 23, 2010

Pooped and ready for a snooze we arrived in Lisboa. With toothpicks in our eyes we met with President Moroni Torgan and his wife Rosa and we were introduced to missionary life. Right after that we met with our manager, Paco Serrano from Madrid. He introduced us to the Centro de Emprego and Ceu Cavaco, the local manager....she is terrific. We were then dropped off at Avendia Antonio Serpa, 23 #5 where we have an apartment in the middle of the Lisboa business district. A pizza in the oven was dinner and we were ready for the first night in Lisboa.

Doing laundry is different. We have two automated dryers....me and Eileen as we hang the wet laundry on the rack on the back porch...or on the line outside, but if we drop a piece of clothing it falls five stories to the rooftop below.

We are trying to hang laundry like our neighbor out the back window and enjoying the local pooch on the rooftop below our window. He has quite the conversation with his dog friends as we try to go to sleep each night.
