Today we have 2 special Astronomical events:
1) Mars is opposition to the sun. It rose from the east after the sunset. Mars is the red "dot" in the middle of the photo.
2) Full Moon Perigee. Since the orbit of the moon around the Earth is elliptic, it has a closest point (perigee) and furthest point (apogee), relative to Earth.

Today, I went to to the House of Music (Casa da Música). It was the Clubbing event: basically every different room of the House of Music has special music concerts (all electronic). I specially went to see the silent movie "Nosferatu" accompanied by Wolfgang Mittere at the electric organ.
Is is always nice to watch the first vampire movie ever made (in different formats)!!!

Last summer I went to Brazil (yes it was incredible...)!!!
One thing that they have a lot is fruit juices! And my favorite is was the "Limonada Suiça" (literally it means the swiss lemonade). Basically it is a lemonade made with limes... and overcome the bitterness, they add condensed milk.
This was my first attempt to make this delicious ""Limonada Suiça" (it came out a bit bitter...)

Today we went to the Tertúlia Castelense (bar) to see a magic show given by Helder Guimarães. He did several card tricks , some mentalist tricks and some amazing (lol) trick. All presented with a touch of comedy (almost stand up style). At one point I was even chosen to participate in a card trick on stage!! Needless to say that it was incredible.

This is a little bit of pyrite. It basically is a iron sulphide and its yellowish tone gave this mineral the nickname of fool´s gold (for obvious reasons!!). This bit of pyrite comes from the Panasqueira Mines.

This is the top base of the Arrábida Bridge!
Basically, when it starts to rain (heavily), this little pool of water forms on the street adjacent to the superior base of the bridge. When the rain doesn`t stop the pool gets bigger and it overflows to the nearest street (exactly below).

By the lighthouse, the waves break against the concrete wall. They seem small, but believe me... they here 3-4 meters high and the noise was incredible...
