Estoril Portugal


George and I landed in Lisbon last night where a taxi was waiting for us to take us to our hotel
in Estoril.
We are right accross the CASINO.!!!!!!
Made famous by the movie Casino Royale (James Bond).
We found a cute little restaurant for a late dinner and then we crashed for the night.
George is going for his interview this morning and for the next 3 days.
I tease him because today is suppose to be the PSYCHOLOGICAL TEST .
(and I am wondering if it is in Portugese ??????)
I am gonna go explore the city .
I am a couple blocks from the beach and I hear it is a famous beach for surfing !!!
It is on and off rain and about 16 degree.

I'll ask my roommates about psychological tests (Émilie étudie en Psycho, et elle a fait passer un test à Amélie). Good luck Daddy! I'm sure he could do it even if it was in Portugese! As long as they understand a bit of Spanish, French and Italian... hehe.

Hello Dominique
I'm so excited to be able to access your blog & follow your journey.
What's the time difference ? Have you adjusted from the jetlag ?
So today is the beginning of the process for George. When will he know if they are going to offer him the position, before you return home ?
Does he get at all anxious about interviews, especially ones that last 3 days ?
Look forward to your next update.
Are you learning any Portugese ?
Cheers
Janet

Dear Janet,

We are 8 hours ahead here.
George is super nervous and we have not slept so well in the past few days.
He has to make a decision on the spot before the end of the day.
I will let you know.
