Blog Index

Last week I was approved for an author account on Goodreads. One of the perks of this account is that the author's personal blog automatically transfers over to the Goodreads page. Goodreads also has a comments function, which this blog does not and which for security reasons I'm reluctant to add. However, the only entries that transferred over were the most recent ten, which means that all of my entries from my time in Lisbon aren't there.

In the interests of making my travel diary from last fall available to Goodreads members, and more accessible to readers of this blog, I've created an index with links to each post and a one-sentence summary. The posts are arranged chronologically.

1. A Real-Live Garret! I arrive in Lisbon and find the apartment quite conducive to a writer.

2. Settling In Pictures from our neighborhood.

3. Locked Out Abroad My husband left the keys in the apartment six days after we arrived, a common travel mishap.

4. Farmer's Market The Saturday Farmer's Market in our neighborhood, and meeting another Fulbright fellow, Rachel Burk, and her two daughters.
