Ben went out to buy a hair clipper and a few groceries in the morning, and most of the afternoon went into apartment-hunting for Lisbon: video tours, email back-and-forth, the kind of thing you do from a laptop. We also went down to the beach and Kathy waded and swam while Ben manned the camera.


By evening we’d locked in a place, which was a substantial relief. Steak, cauliflower, rice, and a bottle of Freixenet to celebrate.
