A few views of the TWA Hotel at JFK early this morning. There are always people walking around taking pictures here. The retro sixties look is so well done.

The old checkin desks that are now used for hotel checkin. The bag conveyor belt is running behind the desks, though they carry nothing. Old checkin desks now used for hotel checkin

Oh jet lag! I guess that I might as well get up? 🤷🏼‍♂️🥱

I’m starting the flights back home. It’ll take me a couple of days to get there. I’ll miss Portugal. I missed it last time that I left and I’ll miss it this time. See you again soon.

There was a haze of dust from North Africa (sand from the Sahara?) hanging over Lisbon this evening, as I crossed the Vasco da Gama Bridge.

😶‍🌫️ The morning cloud and mist is burning off. It feels as though it will be a warm afternoon.

🐰 Where do dust bunnies come from? My current thinking is from “thin air,” and that they are very prolific!

Alcácer do Sal, Portugal, from over the River Sado. The river is so still that the town is reflected in the river.

And tonight.

I have just had lunch and still haven’t been outside yet today. I got up late and just started doing odd jobs around the house. The grey sky outside wasn’t an encouragement to venture out, and I just didn’t think about doing so. I’ll head out before the day is over, but have appreciated the pace of the day so far.
