The time passed pretty fast the next months.
I kept hanging out with my friends visiting villages around Lisbon and going
for hikes, like Sesimbra, Setúbal, Cascais, ... The day of the Carnival we were
in Sesimbra, enjoying the parades and the different costumes that the people
were wearing. We had many rainy days, but fortunately for us, just during the
week, the weekends were full of sun, laughs, beers and friends.
I went back to Alicante for Christmas and it
felt good to see again all my family. I came back for New Year’s Eve with a
friend from my childhood and I showed her around (Lisbon, Belem and Sintra). We
enjoyed the party, fireworks by the river, the delicious Pastéis de Belém and the amazing palaces in Sintra.
After that I came back to work as usual going
again to fieldwork in the International Park of Douro river. It was as amazing
as the first time, we even made a new fluffy friend. Unfortunately, because of
the sun, the wind and walking so many hours, I got sick, so I had to stay home
for a couple of weeks to recover!
I went with SPEA to Campo Maior, almost in
the border with Spain, for the arrival of cranes in their migratory rout. But
first, we stop in one of the schools to do an activity with the children. We
made them feel how is a day for a biologist at work, so they went birdwatching
with us and some binoculars. It was a magical moment seeing the cranes flying
in the sky with those beautiful sunsets. A trip to remember.
New volunteers came and we all started to get
along very well, until… the Covid-19 came…
