-------------------
Got out of the room around 8:30am, was waking towards the metro, when I saw Mike Monroy on the street waiting for his wife.
What were the odds of that happening.
Landed in Philly around 2:15pm local time.
Was given a new I-94. was surprised that I was told that I don't need new-one when entering from Vancouver. But the border immigration guy was kind enough to fill out the I-94 for me. Just asked a couple of questions as to which company and what was my designation.
Got to the train just outside of PHL airport. out at 30th street. and Then the R5 train to Lansdale. back home in about 2 hrs. No hassel with traffic or driving, all for the day pass of $10.
Talked with Anil and called up Nar.....
Got my car started and went for a 15 min ride around 8:pm.
Heated up a frozen pizza and had it. Want to have rice..... really feeling the need for a fix for not having eaten any Rice based starch.
Shows how addicted an south Indian is to Rice and curry.
Even after having all the glamorous sounding dishes in Spain and portugal, Vino with every meal.... I love Vino-tinto was how Cecili the lovely spanish lady who danced the merengue with me in madrid said. She had such a lovely thin waist. So easy to lead. That was instant chemistry.

Oct 12 Tue In Lisboa Portugal
Tuesday Oct 12 2010
-------------------
Reached Lisboa 7:40 GMT.
a bit lost and confused, bid bye to the Brazilian guy who was traveling around. Then got talking with the Estonian gal who visited india and is into Yoga, we both checked our luggage into the storage.
She seems to want to be alone. and walk around alone. Seems to have lost her ticket to another place and seems to be sad.
Offered her breakfast, but she said she would like to eat avacado that she has and that she is a vegitarian deeply into yoga and other Indian spiritual things. owwww..
Connected with her, gave her a nice hug.
Then after walking about a bit, I went to the tourist info place...was waiting there when I saw her come there again, heeyy we meet again.
Was walking uptown of Lisboa when I ran into Jason, the Aussie chinese. we decided to walk around together.
Danced a bit of Salsa with Mable/Po the chinese, claims to be a model.
We had an amazing time together just hanging out together and walking about Lisboa.
She was drawing all kinds of attention from people around.
The only that was shocking is the number of people who approached us to sell us Drugs. Shocking that in the center of the city, the people are so easily walking about offering tourists drugs to sell.
