The four of you are my absolute faves! Still living in Rhode Island, I am currently traveling in Europe and have been to sis countries within a two week time frame- none of them Portugal. But I visited Portugal last summer and loved it. What I notice in all of these places is that the element of reason seems more prevalent than at home, as does the value of education, the

Concept of respect, the acknowledgement and acceptance of personal differences... and on and on and on. I love your posts and look forward to them. And I continue to contemplate my next move! Thanks to all four of you for the light you bring into my life!

Love it! Which truly goes to prove that we can be ourselves in Portugal without fears or worries. And that friends come in all flavors!

Love it.. I’m still smiling & always enjoy your posts. As is a very frugal person myself, I can’t imagine giving out my laundry to be washed and I too go shopping for my groceries. I have not had any deliveries in the over seven months that I’ve been here. As I’m hauling my cat litter home… Sometimes I contemplate it.. but I am a cheapskate!! Have a wonderful vacation🥰
