Any which way the wind may be blowing...

A fresh breath of air. Just back from Coimbra, after a weekend at the "Queima das Fitas" university festival. Best of all, I was in the loveliest company possible, with my sweet Catarina as my own private tour guide… :) She reunited with friends and her hometown of four years, I enjoyed new sights and sounds, met some very nice people and had my camera ready at all times to capture as much as possible. It was amazing to see all this energy in the air, all day and especially all night long... Wonderful to see the city captured by the spontaneous energy of this amazing, wonderfully insane tribe, shining and spinning for a week that everyone wishes it would never end...

Thank you to all the lovely people who made us feel at home, for your sympathy and kindness and party spirit. Thank you for the great weekend, and I hope you keep on rockin' the whole week long! I'll definitely be back next year! Take care.

There’s nothing ever gained

By a wet thing called a tear

When the world is too dark

And I need the light inside of me

I’ll walk into a bar

And drink fifteen pints of beer

I am going, I am going

Any which way the wind may be blowing

I am going, I am going

Where streams of whiskey are flowing
