Lisbon

Everytime I watch Love Actually, it makes me want to go back to Portgual; back to Lisbon. It's the music that plays when the story focuses in on Aurelia and Jamie. A dusty guitar in a lonely bar, olive trees, drinking wine perched on the edge of illuminated fountains. I want to jump on a tram, and not worry about where I end up. Wander the winding streets and get lost in a place I don't know well, but love more than any other. The bluest skies you'll ever see, beyond an ocean of terracotta rooves. I want to spend my days writing anything and everything; inspired by the scenery and the people. And my nights in one of the squares, busking with my guitar. It just sounds perfect. Learning the language, learning the culture, embracing everything that this beautiful country has to offer. I'm so sick of England. I need to escape. Lisbon. Take me there?
