did i mention that i recently admired flocks of wild flamingos in lisbon?

I did. It was sensational. Life-changing. Awesome. 

I also hung out with Gab and George (!!!), talked heaps about linguistic-y things, and drank really, really big mugs of beer.

See. And it only cost like three dollars.

I think I've fallen for you Lisbon. ::dreamy sigh::

I'm already planning my next weekend getaway. Maaaaybe I'll take Vincent this time. :)

flamingos make the world a better place.

Last week, my life changed forever:

For those of you who know me, you understand the significance of this photograph. For those of you who don't, let me add some perspective: these are flamingos soaking up the summer sun in a salt pan near Lisbon, Portugal.

A. Flock. Of. Flamingos.

I don't know how my life is going to get any better than this.
