Josie, don't ever come to Copenhagen between December 24 and January 4. You (and any same human) will not like the unmitigated and relentless use of fireworks everywhere until 4am. You especially would not like pedestrians being fired at from bikes and cars, and cars and bikes being fired at by pedestrians. Enjoy all the humans who love you!

I really enjoyed catching up on your adventures as usual. Saturday in Lisbon was crazy! There was a full blown, seemingly professional, fireworks show over Edward Vll at 2am. That was after all the horn blowing, chanting groups traveling by our balcony and general shrieks of delight. At 12:30 I watched an escort of at least 20 police cars, lights flashing, slowly bring a large red float down a nearby highway. Maybe the Benfica team? It was a night to remember for sure. (Though I can see why it wasn't Josie's cup of tea. 😏)

And, on another note... we are also game lovers and could only bring the bare minimum with us. Currently we are playing a lot of Aggravation and SkipBo. Do you know of a store that sells games (and maybe puzzles) here in Lisbon. Most places I've seen seem to sell kids' games. And is Whisk still hosting game nights? Thank you for any insights.
