Introducing Olivia Handmade by Matilde Beldroega from Portugal

People don’t take trips . . . trips take people.
I was handmade by designer Rita Pinheiro. Her shop is called Matilde Beldroega. I was shipped from Tomar, Portugal to San Francisco, USA. I'm 9 inches tall, wearing a blue and white striped shirt. My favorite color is yellow. I'm wearing yellow polka dot dress and red, white and blue striped tights. I love to play with young children. Also, I'm small enough you can put me in your purse easily. Here is a picture of me :-)

On my first day arriving in San Francisco, I was accompanied by my human friends to have brunch in the Mission District, follow by window-shopping and saw many cool modern shops. Then we went to BOBA GUYS to get bubble tea.
What is bubble tea? I had never heard of bubble tea.
Bubble tea is a cold, frothy drink made with iced tea, sweetened milk or other flavorings, and usually with sweet black balls or “pearls” made from tapioca. Do you have a flavor bubble tea?
Apparently is a very popular tea. Of course, I didn't have any. But just to see the long line, it must be really good.
Later in the afternoon, we went to our friends apartment. They have a beautiful balcony with lots of flowers. Here is me - in the garden with blue and white flowers. Feeling so calm and peaceful.
Next day, we took the train to the Asian Art Museum. It was not my type of museum, although I did enjoy this one particular art called Boat, 2012, by Zhu Jinshi Xuan. It is made of paper, bamboo, and cotton thread. Quite impressive!
That's it for now. Thank you for stopping by. Until next time..
