Time to surf

We have our new passports!  We picked them up yesterday morning at the Canadian embassy.  They’re just temporary passports but when we go to Morocco our permanent ones should be waiting for us at the Canadian embassy there.  Unfortunately the weather in Lisbon was terrible yesterday, so we basically spent the day in coffee shops and restaurants.  The highlight of the day, apart from getting our passports, was checking out a fado performance.  Someone we met told us it was a style of music characterized by mournful tunes and melancholy lyrics, or Portugese emo he called it.  There was a singer, a classical guitarist, a Portugese guitarist and a bass.  To be honest the music was moving, powerful and beautiful and if you can you should youtube a fado performance to see what I’m talking about.  Phil wants me to say that the singers voices were almost as sultry as his.  It was a good way to end off our Lisbon leg of the trip.
