little china girl...
Posted by ManuelaR (Hainburg (Frankfurt/Main), Germany) on 29 September 2007 in People & Portrait.
One of the very few & cherished photos I have left from my early years in Portugal. Here, in 1963, I was 3 years old. My family left to France in 1968 (due to Salazar regime).
On my about page, this is how I really look like (without disguises of any kind) some odd years later, living in Germany (please view in large).
This is my 2nd little contribution -- I am sick in bed with a bad cold :( -- toward Dimitrios request http://dimitrios.aminus3.com/
Thanks for your valuable tips and/or constructive input!!

Manuela, all the best with your cold, outside you won't miss a lot, it's raining all the time.
This is one of the cutest pictures I saw! I hope you saved something of her innocence and naughty smile in yourself and I envy your friend on the previous picture.

What an interesting photo to post! Was it a birthday? This photo is such a treasure, personally for you of course, but also for the historic and cultural information it holds. I hope you have traced and documented your family history, it sounds fascinating. Hope you feel better soon.
