bom dia

walking the streets of dili around 7am is a delight :) some people are sweeping the floor of their homes, others walking to work and to whatever mission they have for the day. and everyone goes 'bom dia' or 'bom dia sinhora' :) and it makes me smile away

i'm headed to the santa cruz cemitery today and then to the new CHEGA! museum. i was 13 when the santa cruz massacre happened and it was the first thing that i remember really shocking me, making me think "what kind of world is this?" and realizing the life i was living in cascais was a small part of the whole thing... i clearly remember walking out of school one day and crossing the street to go to my bus stop and those images on TV where on my mind... and i couldn't really make sense of them...

off to the place where that happened .. .
