We have been doing what we can to whip ourselves into reasonable shape
in 2014, and a 7K run across the beautiful 25 de Abril bridge in Lisbon
was a perfect part of our training regiment. Not so coincidentally, the
bridge looks a lot like the Golden Gate, and in a sense is the reason
that we are in Portugal. I've been told that the bridge was built in
the 1950s by the same team of engineers that had built the Golden Gate;
Because this was a project that took a few years, some of the American
employees came with their whole families, including children of
schooling age. The school that we now teach at was started in Lisbon
those many years ago to accommodate these families. I love the
synchronicity that our lives can take... from SF to Lisbon, to work at
the school founded by people that came from our last home... what a
small world!
