Congratulations to Tania

Here she is, my cousin Tania in her graduation uniform, looking cool!  She graduated from Universidade de Lisboa (Lisbon).  Instead of caps and gowns, the women wear black skirt suits, and the men wear matching suits, all topped with a large cloak!  Those are red ribbons she is holding.  During the ceremony the students all raise their ribbons in the air (instead of throwing their caps, they wave ribbons).  Written on the ribbons are well wishes from friends and family.  I was very touched when she asked me to write something on a ribbon-the thought of it being waved in the Lisbon wind seemed wonderful in itself.  (No I have yet to go there.)  She is wearing sunglasses more likely because she guessed that I would post at least a few of her pictures on here...ha ha ha...  She was right. :) 

Congratulations, girl!!  We love ya'!
