Meetings in Lisbon

Today is Postcrossing anniversary. 15 years spreading smiles around the world. This definitely deserved a better year to be celebrated. Because of the pandemic, the meeting that would be the official portuguese meeting to celebrate the anniversary has been postponed. However, some smaller meetings took place  place last month in Lisbon with all the security measures required. There were no gatherings, just a small group of friends who get together to talk and sign postcards.

At the beginning of June, Luís, Zé, RFS, Rita and Bojidara met in Portela for the first meeting of the month.

A few weeks later another meeting was held at the same place, a Portugal - Bulgaria meeting, to honor Fernando Pessoa, a Portuguese poet.

Portugal, Bulgaria, Fernando Pessoa, seems a strange combination, but it is explained by the fact that Bojidara is a PhD student from Bulgaria, whose thesis was about Fernando Pessoa and his heteronyms.
These postcards were sent by Luís, Lina and Zé.
