While I was enjoying the sun, the beach, the scenery, and the company in Portugal, I also was hard at work on my thesis...or on my pre-thesis research because I haven't written the prospectus yet...I interviewed Colonel Mariano Tamagnini Barbosa, the son of my poetess Maria Anna Acciaioli Tamagnini. I also spent some good hours in the Biblioteca National gathering newspaper articles written about Maria Anna when she published her book "Lin-tchi-fá" in 1925. In addition I found a piece that she had written about Chinese new year. I was really excited. I also got some great tips on new places to look for information and really had a successful time.
