Dancers and musicians entertained us. Our waiter asked me about my accent. I told him I was born in the Caribbean. When I told him I was born on St. Croix he began talking about the island and knew it well. He said that while he worked on a cruise ship he visited St. Croix many times! What a small world! |
The Alfama district also called the Old City. |

April 19, 2020 - I began cleaning out my closets a while back since I decided to rent the small room of my apartment to a friend. I had to shift things around which had been stored in the closets to make space. In so doing, I decided to get rid of the many photo albums I had stored in the foyer closet. Damn, I did not know I had that many photo albums. Before shredding the photos/postcards and souvenirs, I looked at them and decided to keep a few. I will post what I saved and scanned on various pages. Some photos and postcards may be posted on other pages. Everything posted will be as scanned without adjusting the photo for color, clarity, etc. What you see is what you get. Watermark will not be added. No kallaloo here, just simplicity. Below are the photos/postcards/souvenirs being added. Keep in mind, some may be duplicates. Enjoy!!! |
Above: Alfama area. Right: The shower in a hotel we visited. See all the pipes? I didn't know which knob to turn. I turned on the bottom two. Water flowed from the side of tub. There was water all over the floor! I almost flooded the bathroom! |
