Out of the Darkness, When 2 Bloggers Collide

This gentleman is the first blogger I have actually met after "meeting" through our community.
His name is Carlos Caetano, he is responsible for Lisbon Weekly Photo and we finally met up last Sunday. After a good few hours' conversation, we returned to where we had started - the Museo da Cidade (City Museum) and I took this photo as the night arrived. I had just missed a shot of an errant peacock returning home over the wall right behind where Carlos is standing, as this camera is just too slow.
So, conclusion? I can strongly recommend you meet up with your nearest co-blogger! Especially if they are as great as Carlos, whom I am delighted to know in person.
It seems that if I am to get back home out of the darkness I have been in, this is as good a way to start as any.

Now you're making me feel ashamed with your kind words. It was great to meet you too and I hope the darkness went away. As you now, it all started by "accident" but it's great to be part (even a small one) of this community.

I also ask you to pay a visit to another friend, Paul from hemingwaysparis.blogspot.com, not because he posted a picture I took in Paris but because it's a great blog and he's having a hard moment.

I'm glad you got to meet Carlos - I've yet to meet anybody from the blogosphere face to face, but hope to, someday. I like the photo, too - looks like you caught a moment.

Wow, great! Meeting in person sounds almost surreal after looking at the world through that person's eyes for a while; I'm glad you two met.

Jenny & Marjan, I can assure you, he is your friend too!
Meg, you're right! Thanks and I at least am looking forward to the next time!
Carlos, I'm going to Paul's next. And you are too modest!
Hola Antonio, todavia no cabiaste para el Word Verification? O quizas no sea posible? Vale la pena, seguramente!
