From Lisbon around the world in 2 hours

Sitting on a bench in Rossio waiting for our British friend arriving from UK. Martin from Copenhagen on Messenger. My friend Carla from Mexico is in Lisbon – you should meet. While gossiping with Vivienne in a cafe on Rossio a guy stops at our table… You guys are from Kathmandu? I instantly recognized the smiling face: Hi Javier! Annette was alomost falling down the chair. I usually NEVER remember names. Still I recognized Javier who is from Argentina but lives in Miami. He visited Tings in Kathmandu for only 1 day together with Enikő Hámori from Hungary back in 2011. While Javier told us about his life and especially his Amigos Near Foundation a souvenir pusher stops at our table and hands over all his accessories.

The Souvenir Pusher: Sir – help my family in Senegal ME: I love Senegal… Kafountine & Cap Skirring are my favorit beaches. The best in the world. And I love the music…. stayed a couple of days in Zuiguinchor The Souvenir Pusher: Oh Sir – thats my town – please have this present. We’re friends.

This morning I woke up with an Afro bracelet on my right arm and this post from Javier on my Facebook Timeline
