Abstract
"My hotel is as I pictured it, simple with all the comforts: nice bed, private bath (with bidet and tub), phone, desk, and best: terrace and wide-angle view of the red-tiled roofs of the vast city of Lisbon. The light of late afternoon is soft-focus and other- worldly. At night circus/calliope rhythms reach my windows from a courtyard below, where a large group of teenagers practice a line dance, march, grapevine, side step, swing your partner, singing along in Portuguese."
