Cascais.

First a health report. I am doing fine. Too early to get an idea of chemotherapy results. CT scan next, that may be a few weeks. Apparently the chemotherapy continues to work weeks after receiving treatment. I did not know that. Anyway, I am feeling good.

-------------

For myself, Cascais is to Lisbon what Sitges is to Barcelona. A nice easy westbound coastal train to escape into an off-season retreat for a day, or Two. The old decaying glam is there, as is an old motor racing circuit. Redundant in the case of Sitges. Just €2.25 for a 40 minute ride from Lisbon takes you to Cascais. Mind you don't get run over by a Porsche.

Very much trying to be a designer shopping retreat today, but it remains a seaside resort. I think the casino in Estoril is still alive and running. Evidence of decedant  past are very apparent everywhere and largely preserved. Fabulous buildings waiting for the right people.


Also some fabulously and surprisingly daring modern architecture. In fact, on the train all the way from Cais do Sodre in the centre of Lisbon to Cascais your subjective eyes will feast on boxes of special assortment just spilling down from the hills to the sea. If you are a lover of buildings in a very amateur context (like myself), or a more serious architecture enthusiast you will also love that train ride. It will be a post for another day. As will more Cascais info'. In the meantime, here is a sketch and a couple of pics with a Wiki link.

Here is what Wiki says

Is it accurate to say that you are arranging a wedding? What about a child shower? Do you require another displaying portfolio? An expert studio picture taker can give you shots of your most unique minutes showing them in the most ideal light.
