I swear I have included in my ritual the "love declaration" for Lisbon. I wake up in the morning, I look at the amazingly beautiful colors that I get to see from my balcony, I think they are surreal and that I actually live in a dream and I say out loud in Romanian "I love you Lisbon"...and then...just like if she could understand I say it also in English and I do my best to say it in Portuguese with the most authentic accent ... and then I am sure that she does understand....I treat her like a human being - and I am sure she is more than a human being....so alive and beautiful. Love.
